Certain Trusts estimate they have 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.’

Section 19(a) notices for each Trust, as applicable, are available on the BlackRock website http://www.blackrock.com.

Section 19(b) Disclosure

The Trusts, acting pursuant to a Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) exemptive order and with the approval of each Trust’s Board of Trustees/Directors (the “Board”), each have adopted a plan, consistent with its investment objectives and policies to support a level distribution of income, capital gains and/or return of capital (the “Plan”). In accordance with the Plans, the Trusts currently distribute the following fixed amounts per share on a quarterly basis:


Exchange Symbol		Amount Per Common Share
BQR		$0.179250
BGR		$0.405000
CII		$0.300000
BDJ		$0.140000
BOE		$0.311650
BME		$0.384375
BGY		$0.167850
BCF		$0.221500
BCX		$0.290000
BQY		$0.230000
BUI		$0.362500

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 each 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.

Dear Shareholder

About this time one year ago, financial market activity was dominated by concerns about Europe’s debt crisis. Investors were also discouraged by gloomy economic reports from various parts of the world, particularly in China. As the outlook for the global economy worsened, however, investors grew increasingly optimistic that the world’s largest central banks would intervene to stimulate growth. This theme, along with the European Central Bank’s (“ECB’s”) firm commitment to preserve the euro currency bloc, drove most asset classes higher through the summer of 2012. In early September, the ECB announced its sovereign bond-buying program designed to support the region’s debt-laden countries. Days later, the US Federal Reserve announced its own much-anticipated stimulus package.

Although financial markets world-wide were buoyed by these aggressive policy actions, risk assets weakened in the fall of 2012. Global trade slowed as many European countries fell into recession and growth continued to decelerate in China. In the United States, stocks slid on lackluster corporate earnings and volatility rose in advance of the US Presidential election. In the post-election environment, investors became more concerned about the “fiscal cliff,” the automatic tax increases and spending cuts that had been scheduled to take effect at the beginning of 2013. High levels of global market volatility persisted through year-end due to fears that bipartisan gridlock would preclude a timely resolution, putting the US economy at high risk for recession. Ultimately, the worst of the fiscal cliff was averted with a last-minute tax deal, although decisions relating to spending cuts and the debt ceiling were postponed, leaving lingering uncertainty.

Investors shook off the nerve-wracking finale to 2012 and the New Year began with a powerful relief rally. Money that had been pulled to the sidelines amid year-end tax-rate uncertainty poured back into the markets in January. Key indicators signaling modest but broad-based improvements in the world’s major economies underpinned the rally. Underlying this aura of comfort was the absence of negative headlines out of Europe. Against this backdrop, global equities surged through January while rising US Treasury yields pressured high quality fixed income assets (as prices move in the opposite direction of yields).

However, bond markets regained strength in February (as yields once again dropped) when global economic momentum slowed and investors toned down their risk appetite. International stock markets weakened amid a resurgence of macro risk out of Europe. A stalemate presidential election in Italy was a reminder that political instability continued to plague the eurozone and a severe banking crisis in Cyprus underscored the fragility of the broader European banking system. In the United States, stocks continued to rise, but at a more moderate pace. Investors grew more cautious given uncertainty as to how long the central bank would continue its stimulus programs. How government spending cuts would impact the already slow economic recovery was another concern. But improving labor market data and rising home prices boosted sentiment in March, pushing major US stock indices to all-time highs. Investors scaled back their enthusiasm in April due to a series of disappointing economic reports. On the whole, US stocks have performed well thus far in 2013 as the US economy demonstrated enough resilience to allay fears of recession, but growth has remained slow enough to dissuade the US Federal Reserve from changing its stance.

Despite continued headwinds for global growth, risk assets have rallied, driven largely by investors seeking meaningful yields in the ongoing low-interest-rate environment. For the 6- and 12-month periods ended April 30, 2013, US and international stocks and high yield bonds posted strong gains. Emerging market equities lagged the rally as the uneven pace of global growth raised doubts that developing economies could thrive in the near term. US Treasury yields were highly volatile over the past 12 months, although they continue to remain low from a historical perspective. US Treasury and investment-grade bonds generated modest returns in this environment, while tax-exempt municipal bonds benefited from favorable supply-and-demand dynamics. Near-zero short term interest rates continued to keep yields on money market securities near their all-time lows.

Market conditions have improved over the past couple of years, but investors still remain highly uncertain and many of the old ways of investing no longer work. That’s why the new world of investing calls for a new approach. One that seeks out more opportunities in more places across a broader array of investments in a portfolio designed to move freely as the markets move up and down.

The Benefits and Risks of Option Over-Writing

In general, the goal of each of the Trusts is to provide total return through a combination of current income and realized and unrealized gains (capital appreciation). The Trusts seek to pursue this goal primarily by investing in a portfolio of equity securities and utilizing an option over-writing strategy in an effort to enhance distribution yield and total return performance. However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all market conditions.

The Trusts primarily write single stock covered call options, and may also from time to time write single stock put options. When writing (selling) a covered call option, the Trust holds an underlying equity security and enters into an option transaction which allows the counterparty to purchase the equity security at an agreed-upon price (“strike price”) within an agreed-upon time period. The Trusts receive cash premiums from the counterparties upon writing (selling) the option, which along with net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are generally available to support current or future distributions paid by the Trusts. During the option term, the counterparty will elect to exercise the option if the market value of the equity security rises above the strike price, and the Trust will be obligated to sell the equity security to the counterparty at the strike price, realizing a gain or loss. Premiums received will increase gains or reduce losses realized on the sale of the equity security. If the option remains unexercised upon its expiration, the Trusts will realize gains equal to the premiums received.

Writing covered call options entails certain risks, which include, but are not limited to, the following: an increase in the value of the underlying equity security above the strike price can result in the exercise of a written option (sale by the Trust to the counterparty) when the Trust might not otherwise have sold the security; exercise of the option by the counterparty will result in a sale below the current market value and will result in a gain or loss being realized by the Trust; and writing covered call options limits the potential appreciation that could be realized on the underlying equity security to the extent of the strike price of the option. As such, an option over-writing strategy may outperform the general equity market in flat or falling markets but underperform in rising markets.

Each Trust employs a plan to support a level distribution of income, capital gains and/or return of capital. The goal of the plan is to provide shareholders with consistent and predictable cash flows by setting

distribution rates based on expected long-term returns of the Trusts. Such distributions, under certain circumstances, may exceed a Trust’s total return performance. When total distributions exceed total return performance for the period, the difference will reduce the Trust’s net asset value per share (“NAV”). The final determination of the source and character of distributions in accordance with federal income tax regulations is made after the fiscal year and is reported in the Trust’s annual report to shareholders. To the extent that dividends and distributions exceed the Trust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which are measured on a tax basis, the excess may be treated as a tax return of capital. Dividends and distributions in excess of a Trust’s taxable income and net capital gains that do not exceed the Trust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which are measured on a tax basis, may be treated as ordinary income dividends and/or capital gain distributions.

To illustrate these concepts, assume the following: (1) a common stock purchased at and currently trading at $37.15 per share; (2) a three-month call option is written by a Trust with a strike price of $40 (i.e., 7.7% higher than the current market price); and (3) the Trust receives $2.45, or 6.6% of the common stock’s value, as a premium. If the stock price remains unchanged, the option will expire and there would be a 6.6% return for the three-month period. If the stock were to decline in price by 6.6% (i.e., decline to $34.70 per share), the option strategy would “break-even” from an economic perspective resulting in neither a gain nor a loss. If the stock were to climb to a price of $40 or above, the option would be exercised and the stock would return 7.7% coupled with the option premium received of 6.6% for a total return of 14.3%. Under this scenario, the Trust loses the benefit of any appreciation of the stock above $40, and thus is limited to a 14.3% total return. The premium from writing the call option serves to offset some of the unrealized loss on the stock in the event that the price of the stock declines, but if the stock were to decline more than 6.6% under this scenario, the Trust’s downside protection is eliminated and the stock could eventually become worthless.

Each Trust intends to write covered call options to varying degrees depending upon market conditions. Please refer to each Trust’s Schedule of Investments and the Notes to Financial Statements for details of written options.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Trusts may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including foreign currency exchange contracts and options, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, index and/or market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market, equity, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments 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 derivative financial instrument. The Trusts’ ability to use a

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

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Trust returned 6.99% based on market price and 8.78% based on net asset value (“NAV”). For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Sector Equity Funds category posted an average return of 10.23% based on market price and 10.14% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

The largest contribution to the Trust’s positive performance for the period came from the water resources segment of the portfolio where the Trust’s water utility holdings drove returns. The strongest-performing stock was Manila Water Co., Inc., a full service water utility company that primarily services residents in the East Zone region of Manila, Philippines. The company’s robust 2012 earnings were a catalyst for its share price touching all-time highs as it soared over the period. In the agriculture segment of the portfolio, exposure to agriculture equipment and machinery names had a positive impact on results for the period. Also within agriculture, Monsanto Co. was a strong individual contributor to returns as the agricultural science company’s earnings continuously beat analysts’ expectations and its management raised the earnings forecast given strong pricing power and high sales volume. Gains from the Trust’s option writing strategy had a positive impact on results for the period.

Conversely, the Trust’s position in fertilizer stock Agrium, Inc. detracted from performance due to a reduced output of potash (a fertilizer product) at the company’s Canadian mines and concerns that the late-season planting in the United States would impact retail demand for agricultural input products. The Trust’s holding in Pennon Group Plc also had a negative impact on returns as shares of the British water utility and waste management company weakened following a profit warning early in the period. In addition, the Trust held an elevated cash balance as a means of defensive positioning given near-term uncertainty about the market outlook. The Trust’s cash position had a modestly negative impact on performance as equities generally advanced.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

During the six-month period, the Trust initiated a position in TransCanada Corp., a North American infrastructure company that operates mainly in the oil and natural gas pipelines business. Also in the new energy sleeve, the Trust sold its holding in Spanish utilities group Iberdrola SA.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

At the end of period, the Trust continued to hold large allocations to both the agriculture and water resources segments and less emphasis on new energy, which is reflective of the relative outlooks and valuations for each of these segments.

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.

Trust Summary as of April 30, 2013		BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust’s (BGR) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities of energy and natural resources companies and equity derivatives with exposure to the energy and natural resources industry. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. The Trust utilizes an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance dividend yield.

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

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Trust returned 9.06% based on market price and 11.56% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Sector Equity Funds category posted an average return of 10.23% based on market price and 10.14% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

The Trust’s positive performance was driven largely by its exposure to on-shore oil producers in the United States, including Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and Noble Energy, Inc., which benefited from rising crude oil prices during the period. The Trust’s holdings in the oil refining and marketing segment also had a positive impact on returns as companies such as Valero Energy Corp. and Delek Logistics Partners LP benefited from improved operating margins. Gains from the Trust’s option writing strategy had a positive impact on results for the period.

Exposure to gold and silver producers detracted from the Trust’s performance during the period. With gold and silver prices declining roughly 15% and 24%, respectively, in an upward-moving equity market, precious metals producers declined dramatically. In particular, the Trust’s key holdings in Silver Wheaton Corp. and Goldcorp, Inc. each fell more than 20% during the period. Elsewhere, the Trust’s overall return was hindered by weakness in select holdings such as Prospect Global Resources, Inc. a company with a potash (fertilizer product) development project in Arizona.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

During the six-month period, the Trust reduced exposure to companies involved in the production of non-energy related products. The overall number of holdings in the Trust decreased during the period.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

At the end of period, the Trust held a large exposure to energy exploration and production companies, with smaller allocations to oil services, energy distribution and oil refining and marketing companies. The Trust continued to maintain a limited exposure to metals & mining stock.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Trust returned 5.52% based on market price and 7.61% based on NAV. For the same period, the benchmark S&P 500^® Value Index returned 16.63%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Relative to the S&P 500^® Value Index, stock selection across several sectors detracted from performance during the period. The Trust’s positioning within financials was the leading source of underperformance. While the Trust held exposure to strong-performing money center banks such as Citigroup, Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co., the returns realized on these holdings were lower than that reflected in the benchmark index as a result of the Trust’s call-writing strategy. As money center banks rallied, the Trust’s positions in these stocks were called away, leading to an underweight posture within the group and hence the Trust’s underperformance. Similarly, the Trust’s performance in the insurance industry lagged the benchmark index due to changes in exposure to the group resulting from stock selection during the period.

Stock selection within the information technology (“IT”) sector also detracted from relative returns. The Trust purchased Apple, Inc. during the period, which proved particularly costly as the stock then declined over 20% by period end due to concerns about prospects for the company’s future growth. Within energy, exposure to oil-levered holdings in the integrated oil & gas segment, such as Suncor Energy, Inc., Chevron Corp. and Exxon Mobil Corp., had a negative impact on results as global oil prices posted modest declines during the period. Concurrently, gas-oriented producers rallied on a modest recovery in natural gas prices

while the Trust was underweight in this space. In materials, shares of fertilizer producer CF Industries Holdings, Inc. fell sharply as global fertilizer prices dipped on concerns about the sustainability of global economic growth. Overall, gains from the Trust’s option writing strategy had a positive impact on results for the period.

Conversely, the Trust benefited from its overweight to the IT sector, which performed well relative to the broader equity market during the period. An underweight to industrials also proved beneficial for relative returns.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

During the six-month period, the Trust lowered its exposure to defensive-oriented areas such as consumer staples, utilities and telecommunication services (“telecom”), while increasing exposure to the more cyclical sectors, including IT and energy. Additionally, the strategy cut its exposure to financials during the period. Sector weightings in the Trust are generally a result of individual stock selection. Within that context, the Trust initiated high-conviction positions during the period including American International Group, Inc. (financials), Google, Inc. (IT), Japan Airlines Co. Ltd. (industrials), Vodafone Group Plc (telecom) and HollyFrontier Corp. (energy), while eliminating holdings in Wells Fargo & Co. (financials), Intel Corp. (IT), Honeywell International, Inc. (industrials), Verizon Communications, Inc. (telecom) and Noble Energy, Inc. (energy).

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

Relative to the S&P 500^® Value Index, the Trust ended the period underweight within the defensive consumer staples and utilities sectors, and was also underweight in financials and consumer discretionary. The Trust maintained overweights in energy and materials. Across the sectors, the Trust continues to emphasize Management’s highest-conviction investment ideas on a stock-by-stock basis.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Trust returned 9.33% based on market price and 8.61% based on NAV. For the same period, the Russell 1000^® Value Index returned 16.31%. 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. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

The largest detractor from relative performance during the period was a combination of stock selection and an underweight position in the financials sector, followed by an underweight and stock selection in information technology (“IT”). Individual stock selection in consumer discretionary and consumer staples hampered returns, as did an overweight in utilities. Stock selection in industrials also weighed on performance.

Contributing positively to performance was a combination of stock selection and an underweight in energy. The Trust’s energy position favored integrated oil & gas companies, which were strong performers during the period. Overweight positions in consumer staples and consumer discretionary also added meaningfully to returns, as did stock selection in utilities and materials. Gains from the Trust’s option writing strategy had a positive impact on results for the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

During the six-month period, there were no large-scale changes to overall allocations. However, we continued to position the Trust opportunistically in the current environment. The largest active change was an addition to the financials sector, specifically to the regional banking industry where there were opportunities to own companies that were well-capitalized, exhibit above-peer earnings growth, strong dividend growth and were trading at discounted valuations. The Trust also reduced traditionally defensive holdings in utilities and telecommunication services and used the proceeds to buy companies in the same sectors whose management teams have been more articulate about growth and future expansion plans in the near term. The Trust sold holdings in industrials that may likely be impacted by slowing demand, weaker productivity and fewer growth projects within the mining space.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

As of the end of the period, the Trust was positioned to perform well in a wide range of economic scenarios. This has been done by emphasizing companies that carry a diverse group of assets, have extensive customer bases among both retail and institutional clients and those which are less sensitive to broad changes in macroeconomic variables. By taking less factor-specific risk, the Trust is better protected than the market, but able to capture upside as equity markets and the broader economy gain momentum. By owning companies that can participate in all parts of a cycle, not just early or late-cycle names, the Trust is more prepared for less-certain times. As always, the Trust continued to search for brand leadership and industry dominance in its investments.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Trust returned 11.72% based on market price and 10.84% based on NAV. For the same period, the MSCI All Country World Index posted a return of 13.46%. 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 following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

The Trust’s positioning within energy, which was among the weaker performing sectors in the benchmark index, detracted from relative results for the period. Exposure to the offshore drilling and energy equipment & services segments had a negative impact on results amid declining oil prices. While there have been several factors at play, a stronger US dollar and more moderate economic data out of China are commonly cited for the recent weakness in oil prices. On a regional basis, stock selection in developed Europe detracted from the Trust’s performance. Most notably, while eurozone instability has persisted for an extended period of time, the conditions of the latest bailout package for Cyprus added to pressures on the Trust’s euro-centric positions.

Conversely, stock selection in industrials was the largest contributor to performance. Several capital goods holdings such as United Rentals, Inc., Eaton Corp. and Hino Motors Ltd. delivered stand-out performance, as did German airliner Deutsche Lufthansa AG and US car rental

operator Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. The cost savings associated with massive industry restructuring and consolidation since the onset of the financial crisis have resulted in better operating and profitability measures for many of these now higher quality businesses. Other factors that drove positive relative performance were the Trust’s US commodity chemical holdings in the materials sector and an overweight to asset managers in the financials sector. Gains from the Trust’s option writing strategy had a positive impact on results for the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

During the six-month period, the Trust reduced its cash position as well as several commodity-linked holdings domiciled in Australia and Mexico. The proceeds were used to increase exposure to Japan and core European countries.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

At period end, the Trust’s holdings reflected a preference for well-capitalized businesses with the ability to consistently grow and generate cash flow in excess of their cost of capital. These companies, more often than not, have re-invested in their businesses, restructured, and are now among the lowest cost producers in their respective industries and hold significant market share. The Trust’s regional positioning was consistent with the view that economies around the world continue to recover. The Trust maintained a bias toward globally oriented companies domiciled in the United States and Europe, while reflecting optimism for Japan and general caution with respect to emerging markets.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Trust returned 18.47% based on market price and 19.30% based on NAV. For the same period, the Russell 3000^® Healthcare Index returned 20.37%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Given the strong performance of the Trust and the benchmark index during the period, there were only a few detractors from relative returns. In pharmaceuticals, the Trust’s underweight positions in some of the larger benchmark constituents such as Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer, Inc. hindered results, although stock selection in this industry was still a positive contributor to relative performance in the aggregate. Additionally, several holdings in managed health care detracted from performance due to uncertainty regarding the impact of Health Care Reform legislation and reimbursement cuts. The Trust’s option writing strategy had a slightly negative impact on results for the period.

Positive relative performance in the Trust came from multiple industries. The largest contributor was a combination of stock selection and an overweight in biotechnology, where several of the Trust’s holdings appreciated due to favorable outcomes for their clinical developments, strong financial results or the combination thereof. Similarly, stock selection in pharmaceuticals aided relative performance due to overweight positions in Roche Holding AG and Novartis AG, while the Trust benefited from maintaining an underweight in Merck & Co., Inc., which underperformed the benchmark. Elsewhere, the Trust benefited from its overweight positions in strong performers such as health care equipment company Sirona Dental Systems, Inc. and life sciences tools company Agilent Technologies, Inc., the latter of which the Fund sold after the stock had appreciated to Management’s price target at the beginning of 2013.

Additionally, the Trust’s avoidance of several health care equipment laggards, Intuitive Surgical, Inc. and Edwards Lifesciences Corp., proved beneficial given their poor stock performance. Lastly, the Trust derived gains from its health care facility holdings, Universal Health Services, Inc. and Capital Senior Living Corp.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

During the six-month period, the Trust’s industry exposures changed as a result of investment decisions at the individual stock level. The Trust’s exposures to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology industries and health care equipment & supplies increased slightly, while its allocation to health care providers & services slightly decreased.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

As of period end, the Trust continued to maintain a focus on innovative companies that seek to satisfy an unmet health care need or enhance current products or services. As a result, the Trust’s largest industry allocations continued to be pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. The Trust also maintained focused exposure to companies deemed likely to benefit from the implementation of Health Care Reform legislation.

Overall, Trust management remains constructive on the health care sector. Generally speaking, valuations in the health care sector remain reasonable, even after the strong performance of the sector in 2012 and thus far in 2013. Policy uncertainty has diminished as the implementation of Health Care Reform legislation has been slated for 2014. Furthermore, the new legislation is expected to benefit health care companies by creating increased consumer demand. Additionally, innovation has been improving, particularly in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, which enhances the long-term growth outlook for those stocks.

The Trust seeks to achieve its investment 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.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Trust returned 9.25% based on market price and 9.50% based on NAV. For the same period, the MSCI All Country World Index ex-US returned 12.78%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

The largest detractor from Trust performance was positioning within the materials sector. Exposures to gold miners and industrial-related metals had a negative impact on results due to price reversals in the underlying commodities after multi-year runs of considerable pricing strength. While there have been several factors at play, a stronger US dollar and more moderate economic data out of China are commonly cited for the recent weakness in commodity prices. Also in materials, the Trust’s holdings in the paper products segment lagged the benchmark index during the period. The Trust’s option writing strategy had a negative impact on results for the period.

Conversely, stock selection within diversified financials and pharmaceuticals were the largest relative contributors from an industry perspective. These segments performed well as strong cash flow attributes, and larger cash inflows for asset managers, attracted investors seeking income and

growth in the low interest rate environment. From a geographic standpoint, stock selection in Japan contributed positively. While the outcome is far from certain, Japan has clearly been taking bold policy actions in an attempt to reinvigorate its domestic economy, leading to a re-pricing of local assets as well as shares of export-oriented companies.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

During the six-month period, the Trust increased its allocation to developed Europe, with the largest additions centered on globally oriented businesses domiciled in Switzerland. The Trust also added to Japanese equities. These purchases were funded primarily from reduced exposures to the Trust’s more cyclical holdings in Australia, Canada and the emerging markets.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

At period end, the Trust’s holdings reflected a preference for well-capitalized businesses with the ability to consistently grow and generate cash flow in excess of their cost of capital. These companies, more often than not, have re-invested in their businesses, restructured, and are now among the lowest cost producers in their respective industries and hold significant market share.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Trust returned (0.72)% based on market price and (3.55)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Sector Equity Funds category posted an average return of 10.23% based on market price and 10.14% based on NAV. 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 following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

The Trust’s investments in the natural resources segment (metals & mining stocks) detracted from performance for the period amid price weakness in precious metals, especially gold. In particular, the Trust’s position in Peruvian gold miner Cia de Minas Buenaventura SA hurt returns after the company delivered a disappointing update from its growth development project in southern Peru, the Chucapaca open-pit mine, suggesting that open-pit mining may no longer be an economic method for developing the mine. The company also reported faster-than-expected grade declines (the concentration of metal contained in the ore) in other mines, suggesting the possibility of lower production levels for 2013. Other holdings in this space having a negative impact on the Trust’s results included Fresnillo Plc and Industrias Penoles SAB de CV. In addition, the Trust held an elevated cash balance as a means of defensive positioning given near-term uncertainty about the market outlook. The Trust’s cash position had a modestly negative impact on performance as equities generally advanced.

The Trust’s investments in the basic materials segment of the portfolio contributed positively to results, with notable performance from the chemicals, paper & forest products and containers & packaging industries. Notable contributors within chemicals included E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Praxair, Inc. and Monsanto Co. In paper & forest products, International Paper Co. was a stand-out performer with strong fourth-quarter earnings that beat consensus estimates. The company benefited from higher prices for container board while its management effectively reduced fixed costs and improved free cash flow generation. In the energy segment of the portfolio, the Trust’s position in refiner Valero Energy Corp. proved beneficial as the stock soared on expectations that the company would have the ability to monetize crude oil price differentials given its available capacity to increase production in the United States. Gains from the Trust’s option writing strategy had a positive impact on performance during the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

During the six-month period, notable transactions included the addition of Nevsun Resources Ltd. and Silver Wheaton Corp. and the elimination of Cliffs Natural Resources, Inc. and Harry Winston Diamond Corp.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

At the end of the period, the Trust held its largest exposure in metals & mining stocks, with the remainder broadly divided between the energy sector and basic materials.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Trust returned (6.76)% based on market price and (5.94)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Sector Equity Funds category posted an average return of 10.23% based on market price and 10.14% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

The Trust’s exposure to metals & mining stocks detracted from performance as concerns about growth in China and some disappointing company reports (including asset write-downs from a number of major mining companies) weighed on the industry. Gold and precious metals producers were among the weakest performers during the period. Gold producers sold off heavily amid severe volatility in the price of gold, which declined roughly 15% over the period, driven largely by uncertainty around central bank actions, including the longevity of the US Federal Reserve’s stimulus program and fears that the bailout terms for Cyprus may entail a gold sale.

The Trust’s investments in the energy sector contributed positively to returns as optimism around the US economy (the largest end market for crude oil) helped generate momentum for the sector. Certain gas producers held in the Trust were among the stronger performers due to a significant appreciation in natural gas prices, helped by cooler weather in the United States. Gains from the Trust’s option writing strategy also had a positive impact on performance during the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

During the six-month period, the Trust increased its allocation to oil, gas & consumable fuels and decreased exposure to metals & mining stocks. In basic materials, the Trust reduced its chemicals exposure, while adding to holdings in machinery and food products.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

As of period end, the Trust’s largest allocation was to the energy sector, while the remaining exposure was divided broadly between metals & mining and basic materials stocks. This positioning reflects the relative outlooks and valuations for each of these segments.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Trust returned 10.02% based on market price and 10.06% based on NAV. For the same period, the MSCI World Value Index returned 15.64%. 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 following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

Relative to the MSCI World Value Index, the largest detractor from the Trust’s performance was the combination of a substantial underweight and stock selection in the financials sector, followed by individual stock selection in information technology (“IT”). An overweight and stock selection in telecommunication services hampered returns, as did stock selection in consumer staples and utilities. A small overweight in utilities also weighed on performance.

The largest contributor to the Trust’s positive performance was a combination of strong stock selection and underweight positions in both materials and energy. A large overweight in consumer staples added to returns, as did marginal overweights in health care and consumer discretionary. Gains from the Trust’s option writing strategy had a positive impact on results for the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

During the six-month period, there were few meaningful changes to overall portfolio allocations due to the longer-term nature of the Trust’s investment horizon and project cycle within the global utility and infrastructure space. The Trust continued to focus on companies that are likely to gain market share and grow revenues in a recovering global economy.

Trust Summary as of April 30, 2013			BlackRock Utility and Infrastructure Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock Utility and Infrastructure Trust’s (BUI) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation.

The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

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

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the Trust returned 8.12% based on market price and 10.23% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Sector Equity Funds category posted an average return of 10.23% based on market price and 10.14% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust ended the period trading at discount to NAV, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

The largest contributor to the Trust’s performance was stock selection in the utilities sector, particularly regulated utilities, where several holdings returned more than 20%. Stock selection in water utilities was strong, with robust absolute performance coming from American Water Works Co., Inc. and Aqua America, Inc. In telecommunication services, investments in Verizon Communications, Inc., BT Group Plc and Telenor ASA substantially benefited performance. The Trust’s exposure to the industrials sector also contributed positively to results.

Detracting from returns for the period was a handful of stocks that performed weakly due to both macroeconomic and fundamental reasons. German utility E.ON AG fell later during 2012 as the German government announced it would seek alternative sources of energy. CenturyLink, Inc., which the Trust sold during the first quarter of 2013, cut its dividend as a result of a capital allocation change. The stock’s price reacted immediately following the announcement. In industrials, an investment in Asian port operator China Merchants Holdings International Co. Ltd. weighed

on returns as the stock was weaker due to fears of a cooling Chinese economy and slower growth in the near term. The Trust’s option writing strategy had a negative impact on results for the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

Describe Trust positioning at period end.

As of period end, the Trust was positioned to reflect ownership in companies we expect to capitalize on global trends of industrialization and urbanization around the world. Trust management continues to believe that the proliferation of wealth and general population growth across emerging markets will drive demand for commodities and related items in order to support infrastructure development, power generation, energy exploration & production and enhanced agricultural efficiencies. The Trust’s holdings reflected a preference for industry leaders with early market penetration that are poised to capture growing revenues as demand for infrastructure, telecommunication services and electricity accelerates. This theme remains critical to the Trust’s current positioning, as Trust management believes the velocity of an emerging middle class, with an anticipated two billion people joining by 2030, will be an exceptionally important investment theme.

Fair Value Measurements — Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

Level 1 — unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access

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 and derivative financial instruments)

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Certain foreign securities are fair valued utilizing an external pricing service to reflect any significant market movements between the time the Trust values such foreign securities and the earlier closing of foreign markets. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the disclosure hierarchy. As of October 31, 2012, there were securities with a value of $4,831,829 that were systematically fair valued due to significant market movements, but were not valued using systematic fair values as of April 30, 2013. Therefore, these securities were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 during the period October 31, 2012 to April 30, 2013.

CII, BDJ, BOE and BQY 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, BCF, BCX and BUI are registered as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the 1940 Act. Prior to commencement of operations on November 25, 2011, BUI had no operations other than those relating to organizational matters and the sale of 6,964 Common Shares on August 25, 2011 to BlackRock HoldCo 2, Inc. for $100,012. Investment operations for BUI commenced on November 25, 2011. The Trusts’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Boards of Directors and Board of Trustees of the Trusts are collectively referred to throughout this report as the “Board of Trustees” or the “Board”, and the directors/ trustees thereof are collectively referred to throughout this report as “Trustees.” The Trusts determine and make available for publication the NAVs of their shares on a daily basis.

Reorganizations: The Board and shareholders of BDJ and the Board of Trustees and shareholders of each of BlackRock Equity Dividend Trust (“BDV”) and BlackRock Strategic Equity Dividend Trust (“BDT”) (individually, a “Target Trust” and collectively the “Target Trusts”) approved the reorganizations of each Target Trust into BDJ pursuant to which BDJ acquired substantially all of the assets and substantially all of the liabilities of each Target Trust in exchange for an equal aggregate value of newly-issued BDJ shares.

Each shareholder of a Target Trust received shares of BDJ in an amount equal to the aggregate NAV of such shareholder’s Target Trust shares, as determined at the close of business on February 24, 2012.

The reorganizations were accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of BDJ in the following amounts and at the following conversion ratios:


Target Trusts	Shares Prior to Reorganization		Common Shares Conversion Ratio		Shares of BDJ
BDV		54,638,903		1.27840257		69,850,515
BDT		26,908,028		1.41137167		37,977,229

Each Target Trust’s net assets and composition of net assets on February 24, 2012, the date of the reorganization, were as follows:


Target Trusts	Net Assets		Paid-in Capital		Distributions in Excess of Net Investment Income			Accumulated Net Realized Loss			Net Unrealized Appreciation
BDV	$	590,660,911	$	647,693,876	$	(173,949	)	$	(92,018,281	)	$	35,159,265
BDT	$	321,139,863	$	327,248,656	$	316,616		$	(29,161,302	)	$	22,735,893

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by BDJ were recorded at fair value. However, the cost basis of the investments received from the Target Trusts were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of BDJ’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

The aggregate net assets of BDJ immediately after the acquisition amounted to $1,517,719,362. Each Target Trust’s fair value and cost of investments prior to the reorganization were as follows:


Target Trusts	Fair Value of Investments		Cost of Investments
BDV	$	588,487,468	$	553,328,182
BDT	$	318,996,795	$	296,260,902

The purpose of these transactions was to combine three funds managed by the Manager, the investment advisor to BDJ, BDV and BDT with the same or substantially similar (but not identical) investment objectives, investment policies, strategies, risks and restrictions. Each reorganization was a tax-free event and was effective on February 27, 2012.

Assuming the acquisitions had been completed on November 1, 2011, the beginning of the fiscal reporting period of BDJ, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2012, are as follows:

Net investment income: $32,331,130

Net realized and change in unrealized gain/loss on investments: $141,874,756

Net increase in net assets resulting from operations: $174,205,886

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of BDV and BDT that have been included in BDJ’s Statement of Operations since February 27, 2012.

Reorganization costs incurred by BDJ in connection with the reorganization were paid by BDJ.

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

Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements of BCX include the accounts of BlackRock Cayman Resources & Commodities Strategy Fund, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BCX, which primarily invests in commodity-related instruments. The Subsidiary enables BCX to hold these commodity-related instruments and still satisfy Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) tax requirements. BCX may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment policies and restrictions that apply to BCX.

Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Trusts would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Trusts determines the fair value their financial instruments at market value using independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) is the committee formed by management to develop global pricing policies and procedures and to provide oversight of the pricing function for the Trusts for all financial instruments.

Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) 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 registered investment companies are valued at the NAV each business day. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price.

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 each Trust’s pro rata ownership in the underlying fund’s net assets. 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 under the 1940 Act. The Trusts may withdraw up to 25% of their 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 New York Stock Exchange (“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 that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, seeks to determine the price that each Trust might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, deem relevant consistent with the principles of fair value measurement which include the market approach, income approach and/or in the case of recent investments, the cost approach, as appropriate. A market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions. The income approach generally is used to discount future cash flows to present value and adjusted for liquidity as appropriate. These factors include but are not limited to: (i) attributes specific to the investment or asset; (ii) the principal market for the investment or asset; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment or asset; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment or asset, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and (vi) other factors, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts and/or default rates. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had an active market existed. The Global Valuation Committee, or its delegate, employs various methods for


120		SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT		APRIL 30, 2013


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist including regular due diligence of the Trusts’ pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices and large movements in market values and reviews of any market related activity. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof on a quarterly basis.

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 affect the value of such instruments materially, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and be valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Global Valuation Committee using a pricing service and/or policies approved by the Board. Each business day, each Trust uses a pricing service 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: The Trusts’ books and records are maintained in US dollars. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective date of such transactions. Generally, when the US dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Trusts’ investments denominated in that currency will lose value because that currency is worth fewer US dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the US dollar falls in relative value.

The Trusts do not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of investments held or sold for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated on the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those investments but are included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments. The Trusts report realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net 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 each Trust either delivers collateral or segregates assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., foreign currency exchange contracts or options written), 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 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, a Trust engaging in such transactions may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities to/with an exchange or broker-dealer 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 is informed of 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, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions paid by the Trusts are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Subject to each Trust’s level distribution plan, each Trust intends to make quarterly cash dividends and/or distributions to shareholders, which may consist of net investment income, net options premium and net realized and unrealized gains on investments. The portion of distributions that exceeds a Trust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which are measured on a tax basis, will constitute a nontaxable return of capital. Distributions in excess of a Trust’s taxable income and net capital gains, but not in excess of a Trust’s earnings and profits, will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income and will not constitute a nontaxable return of capital. Capital losses carried forward from years beginning before 2011 do not reduce earnings and profits, even if such carried forward losses offset current year realized gains. The character of dividends and distributions is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.

Securities Lending: The Trusts may lend securities to approved borrowers, such as banks, brokers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges cash, securities issued or guaranteed by the US government or irrevocable letters of credit issued by a bank as collateral. The initial collateral received by the Trusts have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter 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 Trust 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


		SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT		APRIL 30, 2013		121


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to the securities lending agent. During the term of the loan, the Trusts earn dividends or interest income on the securities loaned but do not receive interest income on the securities received as collateral. 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. The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate this risk the Trusts benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities lent. 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. During the six months ended April 30, 2013, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash.

Income Taxes: It is each Trust’s 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 its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is 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 each of the four years ended October 31, 2012 with the exception of BCX and BUI. The statute of limitations on BCX’s US federal tax returns remains open for the year ended October 31, 2012 and the period ended October 31, 2011. The statute of limitations on BUI’s US federal tax returns remains open for the period ended October 31, 2012. The statutes of limitations on each Trust’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

Recent Accounting Standards: In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued guidance that will expand current disclosure requirements on the offsetting of certain assets and liabilities. The new disclosures will be required for investments and derivative financial instruments subject to master netting or similar agreements which are eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about such investments and transactions in the financial statements. In January 2013, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies which investments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements. The scope of the disclosure requirements for offsetting will be limited to derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods

within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Trusts’ financial statement disclosures.

Deferred Compensation: Under the Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) approved by each Trust’s Board, except CII, independent Trustees (“Independent Trustees”) may 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 certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees. This has the same economic effect for the Independent Trustees as if the Independent Trustees had invested the deferred amounts directly in certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds.

The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of each Trust. Prior to March 31, 2012, each Trust elected to invest in common shares of certain other BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations.

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 BQY 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 BQY. BQY is not sponsored, endorsed, managed, sold or promoted by S&P and S&P makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in BQY. BQY is required to pay a quarterly licensing fee, which is shown in the Statements of Operations as licensing.

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. Expenses directly related to the Trusts and other shared expenses pro rated to the Trusts are allocated daily to each class based on its relative net assets or other appropriate methods.

The Trusts have an arrangement with the custodian whereby fees may be reduced by credits earned on uninvested cash balances, which, if applicable, are shown as fees paid indirectly in the Statement of Operations. The custodian imposes fees on overdrawn cash balances, which can be offset by accumulated credits earned or may result in additional custody charges.

2. Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Trusts engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Trusts and/or to economically hedge, their exposure to certain risks such as equity risk or foreign currency exchange rate risk. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or OTC.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Certain Trusts enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain 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, when used by a Trust, help to manage the overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by a Trust are denominated. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Trust as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a Trust record 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 the value of a foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies and the risk that the counterparty to the contract does not perform its obligations under the agreement.

Options: The Trusts purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease their exposure to underlying instruments (including equity risk and/or commodity price risk) and/or, in the case of options written, to generate gains from options premiums. A call option gives the purchaser (holder) of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller (writer) to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike 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 or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. When the Trusts purchase (write) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by the Trusts 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 the Trusts enter into a closing transaction), the Trusts realize 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 premiums received or paid). When the Trusts write a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that the Trusts hold the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty. When the Trusts write a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.

In purchasing and writing options, the Trusts bear 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 an option written could result in the Trusts purchasing or selling a security at a price different from the current market value.

A derivative contract may suffer a mark to market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. A Trust’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by such Trust. For OTC options purchased, each Trust bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by such Trust should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Trusts do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Trusts, and not, the counterparty to perform. With exchange traded purchased options, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Trusts since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, the credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, US bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro rata basis across all the broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Trusts.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Trusts mitigate its counterparty risk, the Trusts may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between each Trust and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, each Trust may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker or clearinghouse for exchange traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margining in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances.


		SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT		APRIL 30, 2013		123


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives (foreign currency exchange contracts, options and swaps). For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Trust and the counterparty. For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Trust and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Trust, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $500,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to a Trust from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, a Trust bears the risk of loss

from counterparty non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation and Collateralization” for information with respect to collateral practices. Each Trust attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

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 a Trust to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, the Trusts do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) is the largest stockholder and an affiliate, for 1940 Act purposes, of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”).

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 each Trust’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Trust. For such services, each Trust pays the Manager a monthly fee at the following annual rates:


Average weekly value of each Trust’s net assets:
BGR	1.20	%
BDJ	0.81	%
BOE	1.00	%
BME	1.00	%
BCF	1.20	%
BQY	0.75	%
Average daily value of each Trust’s net assets:
BQR	1.20	%
CII	0.85	%
BGY	1.00	%
BCX	1.20	%
BUI	1.00	%

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:


			Expiration Date
BGR	0.05	%	December 29, 2012
BCF	0.10	%	September 29, 2013
	0.05	%	September 29, 2014

The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fees on BCX as a percentage of its average daily net assets as follows:

	0.15	%	October 31, 2016
	0.10	%	October 31, 2017
	0.05	%	October 31, 2018

The Manager provides investment management and other services to the Subsidiary. The Manager does not receive separate compensation from the Subsidiary for providing investment management or administrative services. However, BCX pays the Manager based on the Trust’s net assets which includes the assets of the Subsidiary.

The Manager voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees each Trust pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds. However, the Manager does not waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees paid in connection with each Trust’s investment in other affiliated investment companies, if any. These amounts are included in fees waived by Manager in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended April 30, 2013, the amounts waived were as follows:


BQR	$	2,743
BGR	$	9,434
CII	$	9,260
BDJ	$	30,300
BOE	$	17,572
BME	$	2,834
BGY	$	4,062

BCX	$	5,819
BQY	$	1,378

(“BFM”) for BGR, CII, BDJ, BQY and BUI, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”) for BQR, CII, BCF and BUI, BlackRock Capital Management, Inc. for BGY, BCF and BCX and BlackRock International Ltd. for BQR, BGR, BCF and BCX, 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Certain Trusts received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting them, 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 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, if applicable, are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as securities loaned at value and collateral on securities loaned at value, respectively. The cash collateral invested by BIM, if any, is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments. Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers of securities. The Trusts retain 65% of securities lending income and pays a fee to BIM equal to 35% of such income. The Trusts benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock. As securities lending agent, BIM bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending as well as the cost of borrower default indemnification. BIM does not receive any fees for managing the cash collateral. The share of income earned by the Trusts is shown as securities lending–affiliated in the Statements of Operations. For the period ended April 30, 2013, BIM received $3,614 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 or its affiliates. The Trusts reimburse the Manager for a portion of the compensation paid to the Trusts’ Chief Compliance Officer, which is included in officer and diectors in the Statement of Operations.

6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:

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 (issuer 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 issuer credit risk, the Trusts may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Trusts have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Trusts manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Trusts to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Trusts’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Trusts.

As of April 30, 2013, the Trusts listed below invested a significant portion of their assets in securities in the following sectors:


Utilities.		BQR, BUI
Energy		BGR, BCF, BCX
Health Care		BME
Materials		BCF, BCX

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.

BOE, BGY and BQY invest a substantial amount of their assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries.

When a Trust concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the

risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries may have a significant impact on their investment performance. Foreign issuers may not be subject to the same uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices as used in the US. Foreign securities markets may also be less liquid, more volatile, and less subject to governmental supervision not typically associated with investing in United States securities. Please see the Schedules of Investments for concentrations in specific countries.

As of April 30, 2013, the Trusts listed below had the following industry classifications:


Industry	BOE			BGY			BQY
Pharmaceuticals		8	%		11	%		11	%
Food Products		7			4			5
Commercial Banks		6			6			9

All other industries held were each less than 5%.

7. Capital Share Transactions:

There are an unlimited number of $0.001 par value common shares of beneficial interest authorized for each Trust, with the exception of CII. CII is authorized to issue 200 million shares of $0.10 par value shares, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. The Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued Common Shares to Preferred Shares without approval of Common Shareholders.

Additional Information

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.

On June 4, 2013, the Board of BQY approved changes to certain non-fundamental investment policies of the Trust.

The Board of BQY approved changes to the Trust’s investment policy of investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities that are included in the Standard & Poor’s Earnings and Dividend Quality Ranking System (“S&P U.S. Quality Rankings”) or the Standard and Poor’s International Quality Rankings System (“S&P International Quality Rankings”) (together, “S&P Quality Rankings”) that are rated at least B+ by Standard & Poor’s^®, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. at time of investment. This investment policy has been revised to allow BQY to invest, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its total assets in dividend paying equity securities. Under BQY’s new investment policy, the Trust is particularly dependent on the analytical abilities of BlackRock.

In addition, the Board of BQY also approved the removal of the Trust’s investment policy of investing, under normal market conditions, at least 40% of its assets in equity securities of non-U.S. issuers. This investment policy has been removed to permit BQY to invest more broadly across both U.S. and non-U.S. issuers.

The Board of BQY has approved the foregoing changes to the investment policies as a consequence of the fundamental analysis-based investment process utilized by BQY’s portfolio managers, under which the application of either (i) the S&P Quality Rankings as an investable universe or (ii) a policy requiring a significant portion of total assets to be invested in non-U.S. equity securities is unduly restrictive in the current market environment. While the proposed changes will no longer reflect the use of a third party “quality-based” rankings system, the BQY’s portfolio management team emphasizes an evaluation of both franchise and management quality as inputs to their fundamental analysis-based investment process. The approved changes will not alter BQY’s investment objective.

BQY is required to provide shareholders 60 days’ notice of the change to the investment policies described above. Accordingly, a notice describing the changes discussed above were mailed to shareholders of record as of June 7, 2013. No action is required by shareholders of BQY in connection with this change. Upon the completion of the 60-day notice period, the changes to BQY’s investment policies will become effective and BQY’s name will be changed to reflect such changes in the investment policies. BQY will continue to trade on the NYSE MKT under its current ticker symbol even after the name change becomes effective.

During the period, other than the changes noted above, there were no material changes in the Trusts’ investment objectives or policies or to the Trusts’ charters or by-laws that would delay or prevent a change of control of the Trusts 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 131, there have been no changes in the persons who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Trusts’ portfolios.

Quarterly performance, semi-annual and annual reports and other information regarding the Trusts 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 the Trusts and does not, and is not intended to, incorporate BlackRock’s website in this report.

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 by enrolling in the Trusts’ electronic delivery program.

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

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

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 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 call the Trusts at (800) 882-0052.

Availability of Quarterly Schedule of Investments

The Trusts file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Trusts’ 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. Information on how to access documents on the SEC’s website without charge may be obtained by calling (800) SEC-0330. The Trusts’ Forms N-Q may also be obtained upon request and without charge by calling (800) 882-0052.

This reference to BlackRock’s website is intended to allow investors public access to information regarding the Trusts and does not, and is not intended to, incorporate BlackRock’s website in this report.

Dividend Policy

Each Trust’s dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of its net investment income to its shareholders on a quarterly basis. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the dividends paid by the Trusts for any particular quarter may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Trusts during such quarter. The portion of dividend distributions that exceeds a Trust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which are measured on a tax basis, will constitute a nontaxable return of capital.

Dividend distributions in excess of a Trust’s taxable income and net capital gains, but not in excess of a Trust’s earnings and profits, will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income and will not constitute a non-taxable return of capital. The Trusts’ current accumulated but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which comprises part of the financial information included in this report.

Potential Material Conflicts of Interest

BlackRock has built a professional working environment, firm-wide compliance culture and compliance procedures and systems designed to protect against potential incentives that may favor one account over another. BlackRock has adopted policies and procedures that address the allocation of investment opportunities, execution of portfolio transactions, personal trading by employees and other potential conflicts of interest that are designed to ensure that all client accounts are treated equitably over time. Nevertheless, BlackRock furnishes investment management and advisory services to numerous clients in addition to the Fund, and BlackRock may, consistent with applicable law, make investment recommendations to other clients or accounts (including accounts which are hedge funds or have performance or higher fees paid to BlackRock, or in which portfolio managers have a personal interest in the receipt of such fees), which may be the same as or different from those made to the Fund. In addition, BlackRock, Inc. its affiliates and significant shareholders and any officer, director, shareholder or employee may or may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale BlackRock recommends to the Fund. BlackRock, Inc. or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders, or any officer, director, shareholder, employee or any member of their families may take different actions than those recommended to the Fund by BlackRock with respect to the same securities. Moreover, BlackRock may refrain from rendering any advice or services concerning securities of companies of which any of BlackRock, Inc.’s (or its affiliates’ or significant shareholders’) officers, directors or employees are directors or officers, or companies as to which BlackRock, Inc. or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders or the officers, directors and employees of any of them has any substantial economic interest or possesses material non-public information. Certain portfolio managers also may manage accounts whose investment strategies may at times be opposed to the strategy utilized for the Fund. It should also be noted that Messrs. Davis and Holl may be managing hedge fund and/or long only accounts, or may be part of a team managing hedge fund and/or long only accounts, subject to incentive fees. Messrs. Davis and Holl may therefore be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive fees earned on such accounts.

As a fiduciary, BlackRock owes a duty of loyalty to its clients and must treat each client fairly. When BlackRock purchases or sells securities for more than one account, the trades must be allocated in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties. BlackRock attempts to allocate investments in a fair and equitable manner among client accounts, with no account receiving preferential treatment. To this end, BlackRock, Inc. has adopted policies that are intended to ensure reasonable efficiency in client transactions and provide BlackRock with sufficient flexibility to allocate investments in a manner that is consistent with the particular investment discipline and client base, as appropriate.

(a)(3) As of April 30, 2013:

Portfolio Manager Compensation Overview

BlackRock’s financial arrangements with its portfolio managers, its competitive compensation and its career path emphasis at all levels reflect the value senior management places on key resources. Compensation may include a variety of components and may vary from year to year based on a number of factors. The principal components of compensation include a base salary, a performance-based discretionary bonus, participation in various benefits programs and one or more of the incentive compensation programs established by BlackRock.

Base Compensation. Generally, portfolio managers receive base compensation based on their position with the firm.

Discretionary Incentive Compensation.

Generally, discretionary incentive compensation for Active Equity portfolio managers is based on a formulaic compensation program. BlackRock’s formulaic portfolio manager compensation program is based on team revenue and pre-tax investment performance relative to appropriate competitors or benchmarks over 1-, 3- and 5-year performance periods, as applicable. In most cases, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Funds or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers determine the benchmarks or rankings against which the performance of funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio management team is compared and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to these portfolio managers, such benchmarks for the Fund and other accounts are:


Portfolio Manager		Benchmark
Richard Davis		HSBC Global Mining Index FTSE Gold Mines Index MSCI World Energy DAX Global Agribusiness Index MSCI World
Joshua Freedman		60% MSCI AS World Energy/MSCI AC World Metals&Mining S&P Natural Resources Index MSCI World Energy (TR)
Thomas Holl		FTSE Gold Mines Index HSBC Global Mining Index 60% MSCI AS World Energy/MSCI AC World Metals&Mining S&P Natural Resources Index

A smaller element of portfolio manager discretionary compensation may include consideration of: financial results, expense control, profit margins, strategic planning and implementation, quality of client service, market share, corporate reputation, capital allocation, compliance and risk control, leadership, technology and innovation. These factors are considered collectively by BlackRock management and the relevant Chief Investment Officers.

Distribution of Discretionary Incentive Compensation

Discretionary incentive compensation is distributed to portfolio managers in a combination of cash and BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units which vest ratably over a number of years. For some portfolio managers, discretionary incentive compensation is also distributed in deferred cash awards that notionally track the returns of select BlackRock investment products they manage and that vest ratably over a number of years. The BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units, upon vesting, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Typically, the cash portion of the discretionary incentive compensation, when combined with base salary, represents more than 60% of total compensation for the portfolio managers. Paying a portion of discretionary incentive compensation in BlackRock stock puts compensation earned by a portfolio manager for a given year “at risk” based on BlackRock’s ability to sustain and improve its

performance over future periods. Providing a portion of discretionary incentive compensation in deferred cash awards that notionally track the BlackRock investment products they manage provides direct alignment with investment product results.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards — From time to time long-term incentive equity awards are granted to certain key employees to aid in retention, align their interests with long-term shareholder interests and motivate performance. Equity awards are generally granted in the form of BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units that, once vested, settle in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Messrs. Davis, Freedman and Holl do not have unvested long-term incentive awards.

Other Compensation Benefits. In addition to base compensation and discretionary incentive compensation, portfolio managers may be eligible to receive or participate in one or more of the following:

Incentive Savings Plans — United Kingdom-based portfolio managers are also eligible to participate in broad-based plans offered generally to BlackRock employees, including broad-based retirement, health and other employee benefit plans. For example, BlackRock has created a variety of incentive savings plans in which BlackRock employees are eligible to participate, including a Group Personal Pension Plan (GPPP) and the BlackRock Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The employer contribution to the GPPP is between 6% to 15% (dependent on service related entitlement) of eligible pay capped at £150,000 per annum. The GPPP offers a range of investment options, including several collective investment funds managed by the firm. BlackRock contributions follow the investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or, in the absence of an investment election being made, are invested into a passive balanced managed fund. The ESPP allows for investment in BlackRock common stock at a 5% discount on the fair market value of the stock on the purchase date. Annual participation in the ESPP is limited to the purchase of 1,000 shares of common stock or a US dollar value of $25,000 based on its fair market value on the Purchase Date. Messrs. Davis, Freedman and Holl are eligible to participate in these plans.
