In accordance with the Plans, the Trusts currently distribute the following fixed amounts per share on a quarterly basis:

The fixed amounts distributed per share are subject to change at the discretion of each Trust’s Board. Under its Plan, each Trust will distribute all available investment income to its shareholders, consistent with its primary investment objectives and as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If sufficient investment income is not available on a quarterly basis, the Trusts will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital to shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution. Each quarterly distribution to shareholders is expected to be at the fixed amount established by the Board, except for extraordinary distributions and potential distribution rate increases or decreases to enable the Trusts to comply with the distribution requirements imposed by the Code.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Trust’s investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Plan. Each Trust’s total return performance on net asset value is presented in its financial highlights table.

The Board may amend, suspend or terminate a Trust’s Plan without prior notice if it deems such actions to be in the best interests of the Trust or its shareholders. The suspension or termination of the Plan could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if the Trust’s stock is trading at or above net asset value) or widening an existing trading discount. The Trusts are subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on their ability to maintain level distributions. Examples of potential risks include, but are not limited to, economic downturns impacting the markets, decreased market volatility, companies suspending or decreasing corporate dividend distributions and changes in the Code. Please refer to each Trust’s prospectus for a more complete description of its risks.

Please refer to the Additional Information for a cumulative summary of the Section 19(a) notices for each Trust’s current fiscal period. Section 19(a) notices for the Trusts, as applicable, are available on the BlackRock website www.blackrock.com.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

 

APRIL 30, 2010




 

 

 

 





 

 

 

 

Dear Shareholder

 

 

 

Although overall global economic and financial conditions have generally improved over the past year, the period ended with high levels of market volatility and diminishing investor confidence sparked by the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, concerns over the strength of the economic recovery and uncertainty surrounding the future of interest rate policies. Additionally, as the period drew to a close, the increasing likelihood of more stringent financial market regulations added to the overall sense of investment uncertainty. Despite the uneven nature of recent market conditions, we continue to believe that the “Great Recession” likely ended at some point last summer, thanks primarily to massive fiscal and monetary stimulus, and that the global economy remains in recovery mode.

Global equity markets bottomed in early 2009 and since that time have moved unevenly higher as investors were lured back into the markets by depressed valuations, desire for higher yields and improvements in corporate earnings prospects. There have been several corrections along the way and volatility levels have remained elevated—reflections of mixed economic data, lingering deflation issues (especially in Europe) and uncertainty surrounding financial regulations. On balance, however, improving corporate revenues and profits and a positive macro backdrop helped push stock prices higher over the last twelve and six months. From a geographic perspective, US equities have outpaced their international counterparts in recent months, as the domestic economic recovery has been more pronounced and as credit-related issues have held European markets down.

Within fixed income markets, yields have been moving unevenly as improving economic conditions have been acting to push Treasury yields higher (and prices correspondingly lower), while concerns over ongoing deflation threats have acted as a counterweight. As the period drew to a close, Treasury yields were falling as investors flocked to the “safe haven” asset class in the face of escalating uncertainty. Over the course of the last twelve and six months, however, Treasuries underperformed other areas of the bond market, particularly the high yield sector, which has been benefiting from increased investor demand. Meanwhile, municipal bonds slightly outperformed taxable sectors over both the six- and twelve-month periods thanks to continued high demand levels, but have continued to face the headwinds of ongoing state and local budget problems. As in the taxable arena, high yield municipals have been outperforming the rest of the market.

Regarding cash investments, yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows (producing returns only marginally above zero percent), with the Federal Open Market Committee reiterating that economic circumstances are likely to necessitate an accommodative interest rate stance for an “extended period.”

Trust Summary as of April 30, 2010

BlackRock Dividend AchieversTM Trust


 

 

Investment Objective

 

 

 

BlackRock Dividend AchieversTM Trust (BDV) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation by investing in common stocks that pay above average dividends and have the potential for capital appreciation. The Trust utilizes an option writing (selling) strategy to help enhance current gains.

 

 

 

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

 

 

Performance

 

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Trust returned 16.39% based on market price and 12.78% based on net asset value (“NAV”). For the same period, the Mergent Broad Dividend Achievers Index (“Dividend Achievers Index”) returned 14.31% and the broader market, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index and the Russell 1000 Value Index, returned 16.77% and 17.77%, respectively. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The biggest individual contributor to Trust performance relative to the Dividend Achievers Index was a combination of security selection and an underweight in the utilities sector. Despite the overall underweight to the utilities sector, the allocation to the electric utilities sub-sector provided the largest amount of relative return. Stock selection within materials also contributed to performance, with securities in the chemicals industry providing the most support. While the Trust carried a neutral weight in the telecommunication services sector versus the benchmark, security selection was beneficial, especially in diversified telecommunication services. The largest detractor from performance was the Trust’s overweight in the health care sector. Security selection in the pharmaceuticals industry also detracted from relative performance, along with weaker stock selection in the information technology and consumer staples sectors. The Trust’s cash weighting, though minimal, detracted marginally as markets appreciated, as did the covered call option strategy.

Trust Summary as of April 30, 2010

BlackRock Enhanced Dividend AchieversTM Trust


 

 

Investment Objective

 

 

BlackRock Enhanced Dividend AchieversTM Trust (BDJ) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide current income and current gains, with a secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve these objectives by investing in common stocks that pay above average dividends and have the potential for capital appreciation and by utilizing an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance distributions paid to the Trust’s shareholders.

 

 

 

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

 

 

Performance

 

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Trust returned 18.13% based on market price and 11.13% based on NAV. For the same period, the Dividend Achievers Index returned 14.31% and the broader market, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index and the Russell 1000 Value Index, returned 16.77% and 17.77%, respectively. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust moved from a discount to NAV to a premium by period-end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The Trust’s covered call option strategy was the largest detractor from returns relative to the Dividend Achievers Index, followed by the combination of an underweight and stock selection in the health care sector. Stock selection in the information technology sector, specifically within the computers & peripherals industry, also detracted from relative performance. Weaker stock selection in industrials was largely offset by an overweight in that sector, but the aggregate effect was still negative. Finally, an underweight in the financials sector detracted. Strong individual stock selection in the utilities sector was the largest contributor to relative performance, specifically within the electric and gas segments of the market. The Trust’s underweight in utilities also aided performance. Stock selection within the telecommunication services and materials sectors also enhanced relative returns during the period, helped mostly by holdings within the diversified telecommunication and chemicals industries, respectively.

Trust Summary as of April 30, 2010

BlackRock Strategic Dividend AchieversTM Trust


 

 

Investment Objective

 

 

BlackRock Strategic Dividend AchieversTM Trust (BDT) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks of small to mid-capitalization companies that pay above average dividends and have potential for capital appreciation. The Trust utilizes an option writing (selling) strategy to help enhance current gains.

 

 

 

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

 

 

Performance

 

 

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Trust returned 25.93% based on market price and 21.00% based on NAV. For the same period, the Dividend Achievers Index returned 14.31% and the broader market, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index and the Russell 1000 Value Index, returned 16.77% and 17.77%, respectively. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Stock selection in the financials sector provided the biggest boost to Trust performance relative to the Dividend Achievers Index, specifically within the commercial banking and insurance industries. The next largest contributor overall was security selection in the industrials sector, especially within the commercial services & supplies industry. A Trust overweight in industrials was also beneficial. Lastly, stock selection in materials played a key role in performance for the period. The Trust had positive absolute total returns in all 10 economic sectors. The aggregate effect of the Trust’s option positions was the largest single detractor from relative performance. Elsewhere, stock selection in consumer staples and utilities weighed on relative returns. Stock selection in consumer discretionary detracted, although a small sector underweight contributed slightly to returns. A marginal overweight in information technology also hurt returns.

The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in equity securities issued by companies that are engaged in one or more of the new energy, water resources and agriculture business segments and utilizing an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance current gains.

 

 

 

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

 

 

Performance

 

 

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Trust returned 14.91% based on market price and 6.22% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Sector Equity Funds category posted an average return of 23.36% on a market price basis and 18.41% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust moved from a discount to NAV to a premium by period-end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The agriculture sleeve of the portfolio was the strongest performer during the period. Fertilizer companies, such as Potash Corp. and Agrium, were key drivers of performance as they made gains on volume recovery. The dominant contributor in the water resources sleeve was the nearly 60% of net assets invested in water utilities, particularly the non-US-based utilities that had significant price appreciation. Also contributing in the water resources sleeve were names in the commercial services & supplies industry and in the chemicals industry. The new energy sleeve was the portfolio laggard as this segment struggled to keep pace with broader equity markets due to four factors: the availability/cost of debt; the timing of stimulus package support; weak power prices; and a perceived loss of legislative momentum. The Trust’s call writing strategy added to current earnings, but at the expense of some capital appreciation, given the rising market.

BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust


 

 

Investment Objective

 

 

 

BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust (BGR) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Trust attempts to achieve this objective by investing primarily in equity securities of energy and natural resources companies and equity derivatives with exposure to the energy and natural resources industry.

 

 

 

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

 

 

Performance

 

 

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Trust returned 18.52% based on market price and 15.73% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Sector Equity Funds category returned 23.36% on a market price basis and 18.41% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. During the reporting period, coal stocks overall rallied sharply amidst a global economic rebound and increased steel demand in China. Notably, metallurgical coal (the high-quality cooking coal used in steel production) prices in Asia rallied over the six months due to the increased Chinese steel demand. Precious metals also performed well. Conversely, oil & gas drilling was a relatively weak sub-sector for the fund, with Transocean declining notably toward the end of the period on the heels of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The Trust’s call writing strategy added to current earnings, but at the expense of some capital appreciation, given the rising market.

BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust


 

 

Investment Objective

 

 

 

BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust (BOE) (the “Trust”) seeks current income and current gains, with a secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its objectives by investing primarily in equity securities issued by companies located in countries throughout the world and utilizing an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance current gains.

 

 

 

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

 

 

Performance

 

 

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Trust returned 15.44% based on market price and 9.00% based on NAV. For the same period, the benchmark MSCI All Country World Index posted a return of 9.78%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust moved from a discount to NAV to a premium by period-end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. On an absolute return basis, holdings within industrials and consumer discretionary led all sector returns, with each appreciating nearly 20% in US dollar terms over the trailing six months. Overall stock selection effects were positive and led by positioning across energy, industrials and utilities, where we favored more defensive, regulated players. With approximately half the portfolio overwritten during the time period, the impact of individual stock options was negative in instances where overwritten securities were called away below their market values. Outside of covered call writing, other negative effects came from stock selection in information technology and an underweight in materials. Cash held by the Trust at period-end was 6%. The performance impact of the Trust holding such cash in a positive market was negative.

Performance

 

 

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Trust returned 24.73% based on market price and 14.00% based on NAV. For the same period, the benchmark Russell 3000 Healthcare Index returned 13.63%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Stock selection was the main driver of performance, in addition to the premium income collected from written options. Positive relative returns were achieved primarily by positioning within the biotechnology, life sciences tools & services, and health care equipment sub-industries. Factors that detracted from results included an underweight positioning in health care services and stock selection within pharmaceuticals. The impact of individual stock options was negative in instances where overwritten securities were called away below their market values.

Investment Objective


 

 

 

BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust (BGY) (the “Trust”) seeks current income and current gains, and secondarily long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its objectives by investing primarily in equity securities issued by companies of any market capitalization located in countries throughout the world and utilizing an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance current gains.

 

 

 

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

 

 

Performance

 

 

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Trust returned 9.54% based on market price and 5.17% based on NAV. For the same period, the benchmark MSCI All Country World Index ex-US returned 5.76%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust began the period with neither a discount nor a premium to NAV, and ended the period with a premium to NAV, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. On an absolute basis, contribution to performance was led by industrials and information technology holdings, which appreciated meaningfully during the past six months. From a relative perspective, stock selection within industrials was strongest, led by our exposure to Japanese exporters;holding an underweight in financials also helped. With approximately half the portfolio overwritten during the time period, the impact of individual stock options was negative in instances where overwritten securities were called away below their market values. Outside of covered call writing, other negative effects came from our stock selection decisions within the financials and materials sectors.

Trust Summary as of April 30, 2010

BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust

 

 

Investment Objective


 

 

 

BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust (BCF) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide total return through a combination of current income, current gains and capital appreciation. The Trust attempts to achieve this objective by investing primarily in equity securities of companies engaged in energy, natural resources and basic materials businesses and companies in associated businesses and equity derivatives with exposure to those companies.

 

 

 

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

 

 

Performance

 

 

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Trust returned 18.61% based on market price and 16.49% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Sector Equity Funds category returned 23.36% on a market price basis and 18.41% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. On the whole, commodity prices rallied amidst an economic recovery in 2009. Oil &gas exploration &production and diversified metals &mining stocks contributed the most to fund performance over the six months. While almost every sub-sector performed well during the period, oil &gas drillers lagged on a relative basis.The Trust’s investments in the energy sector, particularly in the drilling industry, contributed to underperformance relative to its Lipper group, which includes funds whose investments are focused in equity sectors that had higher returns. The Trust’s call writing strategy added to current earnings, but at the expense of some capital appreciation, given the rising market.

Trust Summary as of April 30, 2010

BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust

 

 

Investment Objective


 

 

 

BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust (BQY) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of issuers that pay above average dividends and have the potential for capital appreciation. The Trust utilizes an option writing (selling) strategy to help enhance current gains.

 

 

 

No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

 

 

Performance

 

 

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2010, the Trust returned 12.24% based on market price and 8.83% based on NAV. For the same period, the MSCI World Value Index returned 8.31%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Trust performance relative to the MSCI World Value Index was generated through stock selection in the financials sector, specifically within the commercial banking and capital markets industries. Strong security selection in the integrated utilities sub-sector also contributed to relative performance. Finally, an overweight position in the information technology sector helped bolster Trust performance. The Trust’s option writing strategy was a notable detractor from relative performance during the period, given the rising market. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector also hurt performance, as the Trust’s selections in the household durables and specialty retail industries performed more poorly than their index counterparts. In addition, stock selection in the weaker-performing oil, gas & consumable fuels industry, housed within the energy sector, hurt relative performance. Lastly, the Trust’s relative underweight in the materials sector weighed on performance.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Trusts may invest in various derivative instruments, including foreign currency exchange contracts and options, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which constitute forms of economic leverage. Such instruments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market, equity and/or foreign currency exchange rate risks. Such derivative instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative instrument.

The Trusts’ ability to successfully use a derivative instrument depends on the investment advisor’s ability to accurately predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require the Trusts to sell or purchase portfolio securities at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation the Trusts can realize on an investment or may cause the Trusts to hold a security that it might otherwise sell. The Trusts’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or defined by Trust management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

 

 

 

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

 

 

 

Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

 

 

 

Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

 

 

 

Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

 

 

 

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or defined by Trust management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

 

 

 

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

 

 

 

Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

 

 

 

Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

 

 

 

Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

 

 

 

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or defined by Trust management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

 

 

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

 

 

Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

 

 

 

Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

 

 

 

Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

 

 

 

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or defined by Trust management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

 

 

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

 

 

Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

 

 

 

Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

 

 

 

Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following tables summarize the inputs used as of April 30, 2010 in determining the investments:

For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or defined by Trust management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

 

 

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

 

 

Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

 

 

 

Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market- corroborated inputs)

 

 

 

 

Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following tables summarize the inputs used as of April 30, 2010 in determining the investments:

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

 

 

 

Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

 

 

 

Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

 

 

 

Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

 

 

 

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or defined by Trust management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

 

 

 

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

 

 

 

Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

 

 

 

Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

 

 

 

Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

 

 

 

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

 

 

 

 

The following tables summarize the inputs used as of April 30, 2010 in determining the investments:

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

 

 

 

Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

 

 

 

Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

 

 

 

Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

 

 

 

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

 

 

 

 

The following tables summarize the inputs used as of April 30, 2010 in determining the investments:

For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or defined by Trust management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease.

 

 

Fair Value Measurements—Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

 

 

 

Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

 

 

 

Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

 

 

 

Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

 

 

 

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

 

 

 

 

Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

 

 

 

 

Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Dividend AchieversTM Trust (“BDV”), BlackRock Enhanced Dividend AchieversTM Trust (“BDJ”), BlackRock Strategic Dividend AchieversTM Trust (“BDT”), BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust (“BQR”), BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust (“BGR”), BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust (“BOE”), BlackRock Health Sciences Trust (“BME”), BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust (“BGY”), BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust (“BCF”) and BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust (“BQY”) (collectively, the “Trusts”) are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. All Trusts, except BQR, BGR, BME, BGY and BCF, are registered as diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). BQR, BGR, BME, BGY and BCF are registered as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the 1940 Act. The Trusts’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Trusts determine and make available for publication the net asset values of their shares on a daily basis.

BOE Reorganization: The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and the shareholders of each of BlackRock Global Equity Income Trust (“BFD”), BlackRock World Investment Trust (“BWC”) (the “Target Trusts”) and BOE approved the reorganization of each Target Trust into BOE (the “Reorganizations”). The Reorganizations were tax-free events and were effective as of the opening for business of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on July 27, 2009.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trusts:

Valuation: The Trusts’ policy is to fair value their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services selected under supervision of the Board. Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid price. If no bid price is available, the prior day’s price will be used unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the security. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

The Trusts value their investments in BlackRock Liquidity Series, LLC Money Market Series (the “Money Market Series”) at fair value, which is ordinarily based upon their pro rata ownership in the net assets of the underlying fund. The Money Market Series seeks current income consistent with maintaining liquidity and preserving capital. Although the Money Market Series is not registered under the 1940 Act, its investments will follow the parameters of investments by a money market fund that is subject to Rule 2a-7 promulgated by the SEC under the 1940 Act. The Trusts may withdraw up to 25% of its investment daily, although the manager of the Money Market Series, in its sole discretion, may permit an investor to withdraw more than 25% on any one day.

Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices at the close of the options market in which the options trade. An exchange-traded option for which there is no mean price is valued at the last bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that the prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the option. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) options are valued by an independent pricing service using a mathematical model which incorporates a number of market data factors, such as the trades and prices of the underlying instruments.

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or is not available, the investment will be valued by a method approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or the sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that each Trust might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.

Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such instruments may occur between the foreign market close and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of each Trust’s net assets. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such instruments, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board or by the investment advisor using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Board. Each business day, the Trusts use a pricing service selected under the supervision of the Trusts’ Board to assist with the valuation of certain foreign exchange-traded equity securities and foreign exchange-traded and OTC options (the “Systematic Fair Value Price”). Using current market factors, the Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities and foreign options at fair value as of the close of business on the NYSE, which follows the close of the local markets.

Foreign Currency Transactions: Each Trust’s books and records are maintained in US dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars as follows: (i) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange; and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Generally, when the US dollar rises in value against foreign currency, each Trust’s investments denominated in that currency will lose value because its currency is worth fewer US dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the US dollar falls in relative value.

Each Trust reports foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that a Trust either delivers collateral or segregates assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., written options or foreign currency exchange contracts), each Trust will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or other liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when a Trust has determined the ex-dividend date. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax at various rates may be imposed on capital gains, dividends and interest. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. If the total dividends and distributions made in any tax year exceeds net investment income and accumulated realized capital gains, a portion of the total distribution may be treated as a tax return of capital. The amount and timing of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.

Securities Lending: The Trusts may lend securities to financial institutions that provide cash as collateral, which will be maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Trusts and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Trusts on the next business day. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Statements of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to the securities lending agent. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions. In the event that the borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities because of insolvency or for any other reason, the Trusts could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Trusts also could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.

Income Taxes: It is the Trusts’ policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provisions are required.

The Trusts file US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Trusts’ US federal tax returns remains open for the year ended October 31, 2009 and the preceding three taxable years of the respective Trust, if applicable. The statute of limitations on the Trusts’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. There are no uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

Recent Accounting Standard: In January 2010, Financial Accounting Standards Board issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which will require additional disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). It also clarifies existing disclosure requirements relating to the levels of disaggre-

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

gation for fair value measurement and inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of this guidance on the Trusts’ financial statements and disclosures is currently being assessed.

Dividend Achievers Universe: BDV, BDJ and BDT have been granted a revocable license by Mergent®, Inc. (“Mergent”) to use the Dividend AchieversTM universe of common stocks. If Mergent revokes each Trust’s license to use the Dividend AchieversTM universe, the Board of that Trust may need to adopt a new investment strategy and/or new investment policies. There is no assurance that a Trust would pursue or achieve its investment objective during the period in which it implements these replacement investment policies or strategies. “Mergent” and ‘‘Dividend AchieversTM” are trademarks of Mergent and have been licensed for use by BDV, BDJ, and BDT. The products are not sponsored, endorsed, managed, sold or promoted by Mergent and Mergent makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in any of these three Trusts. The Trusts are required to pay a quarterly licensing fee, which is shown in the Statements of Operations as licensing.

S&P Quality Rankings: BQY has been granted a license by Standard & Poor’s® (“S&P”) to use the S&P Quality Rankings and the S&P International Quality Rankings. If S&P terminates the license to use either the S&P Quality Rankings or the S&P International Quality Rankings, the Board may need to adopt a new investment strategy and/or new investment policies. There is no assurance that the Trust would pursue or achieve its investment objective during the period in which it implements these replacement investment policies or strategies. “Standard & Poor’s,” “S&P,” “Standard & Poor’s Earnings and Dividend Rankings,” “S&P Earnings and Dividend Rankings,” “Standard & Poor’s Quality Rankings,” “Standard & Poor’s International Quality Rankings,” “S&P International Quality Rankings” and “S&P Quality Rankings” are trademarks of S&P and have been licensed for use by the Trust. The Trust is not sponsored, endorsed, managed, sold or promoted by S&P and S&P makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the Trust. The Trust is required to pay a quarterly licensing fee, which is shown in the Statements of Operations as licensing.

Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each Trust’s Board, non-interested Trustees (“Independent Trustees”) defer a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of other BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees. This has approximately the same economic effect for the Independent Trustees as if the Independent Trustees had invested the deferred amounts directly in other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds.

The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trust. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of other BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations. Investments to cover the Trusts’ deferred compensation liability are included in other assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends and distributions from the BlackRock Closed-End Fund investments under the plan are included in income - affiliated in the Statements of Operations.

Other: Expenses directly related to a Trust are charged to that Trust. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro-rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.

2. Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Trusts may engage in various portfolio investment strategies both to increase the returns of the Trusts and to economically hedge, or protect, their exposure to certain risks such as equity risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The Trusts may mitigate counterparty risk through master netting agreements included within an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreement between a Trust and separately each of its counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement allows each Trust to offset with its counterparty certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held with each separate counterparty. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is based upon minimum transfer amounts of up to $500,000. To the extent amounts due to the Trusts from their counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Trusts bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation and Collateralization” for information with respect to collateral practices. In addition, the Trusts manage counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

The Trusts’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain in excess of any collateral pledged by the counterparty to the Trusts. For OTC options purchased, the Trusts bear the risk of loss in the amount of the premiums paid and change in market value of the options should the counterparty not perform under the contracts. Options written by the Trusts do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written obligate the Trusts to perform and not the counterparty. Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Trust’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or a Trust fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Trust to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts and options is minimal because of the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which they trade.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Certain Trusts may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to gain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Foreign currency exchange contracts,

APRIL 30, 2010




 


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

when used by a Trust, help to manage the overall exposure to the currency backing some of the investments held by a Trust. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Trust as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a Trust records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that counterparties may not meet the terms of the agreement or unfavorable movements in the value of a currency relative to the US dollar.

Options: The Trusts may purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease their exposure to underlying instruments (equity risk) and/or, in the case of options written, to generate gains from options premiums. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying instrument at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. When a Trust purchases (writes) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by a Trust is reflected as an asset (liability). The amount of the asset (liability) is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased (written). When an instrument is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the instrument sold. When an option expires (or a Trust enters into a closing transaction), a Trust realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received or paid). When a Trust writes a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that a Trust holds the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty, or cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation. When a Trust writes a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.

In purchasing and writing options, a Trust bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Trusts may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Exercise of a option written could result in a Trust purchasing or selling a security at a price different from the current market value. The Trusts may execute transactions in both listed and OTC options.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”), Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate of the Fund for 1940 Act purposes, but BAC and Barclays are not.

Each Trust entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Trusts’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of the each Trust’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Trusts. For such services, the Trusts pay the Manager a monthly fee at the following annual rates of the average weekly value of each Trust’s net assets: 0.65% for BDV, 1.00% for BDJ, 0.75% for BDT, 1.20% for BQR, 1.20% for BGR, 1.00% for BOE, 1.00% for BME, 1.00% for BGY, 1.20% for BCF and 0.75% for BQY. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fees on BGR and BCF as a percentage of their average weekly net assets as follows: 0.20% for the first five years of the Trusts’ operations (2004 through 2009 for BGR and 2006 through 2011 for BCF), 0.15% in 2010 for BGR and in 2012 for BCF, 0.10% in 2011 for BGR and in 2013 for BCF and 0.05% in 2012 for BGR and in 2014 for BCF.

The Manager has entered into separate sub-advisory agreements with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. for BDV, BDJ, BDT and BQY, State Street Research & Management Company for BGR, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”) and BlackRock Capital Management, Inc. for BGY and BCF, and BlackRock International Limited for BQR and BCF, each an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays each sub-advisor for services they provide, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fee paid by each Trust to the Manager.

The Trusts have received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting, among other things, to pay an affiliated securities lending agent a fee based on a share of the income derived from the securities lending activities and has retained BIM as the securities lending agent. BIM may, on behalf of the Trusts, invest cash collateral received by the Trusts for such loans, among other things, in a private investment company managed by the Manager or in registered money market funds advised by the Manager or its affiliates. The market value of securities on loan and the value of the related collateral are shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as securities loaned and collateral at value — securities loaned, respectively. The cash collateral invested by BIM is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments. The share of income earned by the Trusts on such investments is shown as securities lending — affiliated in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended April 30, 2010, BIM received $14,518 in securities lending agent fees related to securities lending activities for the Trusts.

Certain officers and/or trustees of the Trusts are officers and/or trustees of BlackRock, Inc. or its affiliates. The Trusts reimburse the Manager for compensation paid to the Trusts’ Chief Compliance Officer.

6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:

BOE and BQY invest a substantial amount of their assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. When such Trusts concentrate their investments in this manner, they assume the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries may have a significant impact on their investment performance.

In the normal course of business, the Trusts invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (credit risk). The value of securities held by the Trusts may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Trusts; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Trusts may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Trusts have unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Trusts to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Trusts’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Trusts’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Trusts.

The Trusts listed below invest a significant portion of their assets in securities in the following sectors:

 

 

 

     

Consumer Staples

 

BDV, BDJ

Financials

 

BDT, BOE, BGY, BQY

Utilities

 

BQR

Materials

 

BQR, BCF

Industrials

 

BQR

Energy

 

BGR, BCF

Health Care

 

BME

     

Changes in economic conditions affecting these sectors would have a greater impact on these Trusts, and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.

As of April 30, 2010, the Trusts listed below had the following industry classifications:

*

The Trust estimates that it has distributed more than the amount of earned income and net realized gains;therefore, a portion of the distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the shareholder’s investment in a Trust is returned to the shareholder. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect a Trust’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income.’


 

General Information

The Trusts do not make available copies of their Statements of Additional Information because the Trusts’ shares are not continuously offered, which means that the Statement of Additional Information of each Trust has not been updated after completion of the respective Trust’s offerings and the information contained in each Trust’s Statement of Additional Information may have become outdated.

BDV’s, BDJ’s, BDT’s and BQY’s Boards each approved a change to the investment strategy employed by each Trust. The Trusts have previously utilized a quantitative, index-based investment style in selecting equity investments. Pursuant to the new investment strategy, effective February 16, 2010, the Trusts will now utilize an investment style based on a fundamental analysis of individual securities that is not index-based. As a result, under the Trusts’ new investment strategy, the Trusts are particularly dependent on the analytical abilities of BlackRock. There have been no changes to the Trusts’ investment objectives, guidelines and/or policies apart from the method used to implement their investment strategies. Each Trust will continue to emphasize dividend-paying and/or quality equities, as described in its prospectus, and will continue to utilize an option-writing strategy to enhance current gains.

Other than the revisions to BDV’s, BDJ’s, BDT’s and BQY’s investment strategy discussed above, during the period there were no material changes in the Trusts’ investment objectives or policies or to the Trusts’ charters or by-laws that were not approved by the shareholders or in the principal risk factors associated with investment in the Trusts. Other than as disclosed on page 88, there have been no changes in the persons who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Trusts’ portfolios.

Electronic Delivery

Electronic copies of most financial reports are available on the Trusts’ websites or shareholders can sign up for e-mail notifications of quarterly statements, annual and semi-annual reports and prospectuses by enrolling in the Trusts’ electronic delivery program.

Shareholders Who Hold Accounts with Investment Advisors, Banks or Brokerages:

Please contact your financial advisor to enroll. Please note that not all investment advisors, banks or brokerages may offer this service.

Additional Information (concluded)

 

General Information (concluded)

Householding

The Trusts will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly called “householding” and it is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Trusts at (800) 441-7762.

Quarterly performance, semi-annual and annual reports and other information regarding each Trust may be found on BlackRock’s website, which can be accessed at http://www.blackrock.com. This reference to BlackRock’s website is intended to allow investors public access to information regarding each Trust and does not, and is not intended to, incorporate BlackRock’s website into this report.

Availability of Quarterly Schedule of Investments

Each Trust files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. Each Trust’s Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC.
