About this fund

• Run by BlackRock Advisors, LLC. Part of the BlackRock-advised Funds fund family. As of Dec 31, 2025, from the fund's yearly report. Original document →
• Size: about $728 million of holdings, as of June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →
• Borrowing: the fund borrows about 3% on top of its own money, as of June 30, 2026. Borrowed money makes gains and losses bigger. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →
• Costs: 1% a year in management fees; 1% a year in total, including interest on borrowed money. Fiscal year ended Dec 31, 2025. As of Dec 31, 2025, from the fund's yearly report. Original document →
  Among the 53 funds we follow that invest in shares, 22 charge a lower management fee and 9 charge less in total, at their last yearly reports. Both numbers are measured against the fund's own money, not the money it borrows on top, so a fund that borrows more shows higher costs on both counts.
• Payouts: last fiscal year (ended Dec 31, 2025) the fund paid $0.99 a share. $0.16 of that was income; $0.83 came from gains. Most funds announce their monthly or quarterly payout on their own website, not in a filing with the regulator, so a cut or a raise there does not show up here until the next yearly report. A few funds do file a notice about a fixed payout; those appear under What happened, and when. As of Dec 31, 2025, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
• Value of holdings per share at the last fiscal year end (Dec 31, 2025): $12.89. The shares traded at $11.71, about 9.2% below that. As of Dec 31, 2025, from the fund's yearly report. Original document →
• How the holdings did: up 9% over the last three months we have (April-June 2026), before the share price is taken into account. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →

What these lines mean: a payout that is your own money back, what a fund costs, borrowing.

What a holder made

• The year ended Dec 31, 2025: the shares returned +18.6%, counting payouts; the holdings +16.7%. The holdings figure is what the fund's investments earned, before the share price is taken into account. As of Dec 31, 2025, from the fund's annual report. Original document →

• The year ended Dec 31, 2023: the shares returned +12%, counting payouts; the holdings +16.2%. As of Dec 31, 2023, from the fund's annual report. Original document →

• Those five years together: the shares returned +55.7%. $10,000 of shares bought at the start (Jan 1, 2021) would have become about $15,600 by Dec 31, 2025, with every payout counted, before tax. As of Dec 31, 2025, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
• The holdings over the last twelve months we have, to June 30, 2026: +14.7%. The quarterly reports carry no share price, so this is the holdings alone. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →
• Of the 46 funds that invest in shares with a fiscal year ending within six months of this one, 23 reported a higher share return for that year and 22 a lower one. As of Dec 31, 2025, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
• A past year says nothing about the next one. All figures are the fund's own, from its reports to the regulator.

Why the shares and the holdings can differ: the gap between price and value. Why payouts count: a payout that is your own money back.
