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

The fixed amounts distributed per share are subject to change at the discretion of each Trust’s Board. Under its Plan, each Trust will distribute all available investment income to its shareholders, consistent with its primary investment objectives and as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If sufficient investment income is not available on a quarterly basis, the Trusts will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital to shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution. Each quarterly distribution to shareholders is expected to be at the fixed amount established by the Board, except for extraordinary distributions and potential distribution rate increases or decreases to enable the Trusts to comply with the distribution requirements imposed by the Code.
Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Trust’s investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Plan. Each Trust’s total return performance on net asset value is presented in its financial highlights table.
The Board may amend, suspend or terminate a Trust’s Plan without prior notice if it deems such actions to be in the best interests of the Trust or its shareholders. The suspension or termination of the Plan could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if the Trust’s stock is trading at or above net asset value) or widening an existing trading discount. The Trusts are subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on their ability to maintain level distributions. Examples of potential risks include, but are not limited to, economic downturns impacting the markets, decreased market volatility, companies suspending or decreasing corporate dividend distributions and changes in the Code. Please refer to each Trust’s prospectus for a more complete description of its risks.
Please refer to the Additional Information for a cumulative summary of the Section 19(a) notices for each Trust’s current fiscal period. Section 19(a) notices for the Trusts, as applicable, are available on the BlackRock website www.blackrock.com.

ANNUAL REPORT |
OCTOBER 31, 2009 |
|
|
|
|
|
Over the past 12 months, we have witnessed a seismic shift in market sentiment-from fear and pessimism during the worst economic decline and crisis of confidence in financial markets since The Great Depression to increasing optimism amid emerging signs of recovery. The period began in the midst of an intense deterioration in global economic activity and financial markets in the final months of 2008 and the early months of 2009. The collapse of confidence resulted in massive government policy intervention on a global scale in the financial system and the economy. The tide turned dramatically in March 2009, however, on the back of new US government initiatives, as well as better-than-expected economic data and upside surprises in corporate earnings.
Not surprisingly, global equity markets endured extreme volatility over the past 12 months, starting with steep declines and heightened risk aversion in the early part of the reporting period, which eventually gave way to an impressive rally that began in March. Although there have been fits and starts along the way and a few modest corrections, the new bull market has pushed all major US indices well into positive territory for 2009. The experience in international markets was similar to that in the United States. In particular, emerging markets (which were less affected by the global credit crunch and are experiencing faster economic growth rates when compared to the developed world) have posted impressive gains since the rally began.
In fixed income markets, the flight-to-safety premium in Treasury securities prevailed during the equity market downturn, which drove yields sharply lower, but concerns about deficit spending, debt issuance, inflation and dollar weakness have kept Treasury yields range bound in recent months. As economic and market conditions began to improve in early 2009, near-zero interest rates on risk-free assets prompted many investors to reallocate money from cash investments into higher-yielding and riskier non-Treasury assets. The high yield sector was the greatest beneficiary of this move, having decisively outpaced all other taxable asset classes since the start of 2009. Similarly, the municipal bond market is on pace for its best performance year ever in 2009, following one of its worst years in 2008. Investor demand remains strong for munis, helping to create a highly favorable technical backdrop. Municipal bond mutual funds are seeing record inflows, reflecting the renewed investor interest in the asset class.
As a result of the rebound in sentiment and global market conditions, most major benchmark indexes are now in positive territory for both the 6- and 12-month periods.

Investment Objective |

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

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

Performance |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned (2.21)% based on market price and (3.75)% based on net asset value (“NAV”). For the same period, the benchmark Mergent Broad Dividend Achievers Index (“Dividend Achievers Index”) returned (0.63)% on a NAV basis, and the broader market, measured by the Russell 1000 Index and the Russell 1000 Value Index, returned 11.20% and 4.78%, respectively. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The Trust’s strategy is to generate above-average current income through positions in larger-cap stocks with attractive dividend yields, selected primarily from the Dividend Achievers Index. Over the period, this strategy was negatively affected by three factors: (1) higher-yielding stocks underperformed the broader market; (2) the drive for yield meant higher exposure to the financials sectors, which underperformed; and (3) mid-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks and growth stocks outperformed value stocks, each hurting the larger-cap, value-oriented Trust. Further, the enhancement in early 2009 to the Trust’s strategy — writing calls on approximately 20% of the portfolio — added to current earnings, but at the expense of some capital appreciation, given the very strongly rising market. |

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2009 |
BlackRock Enhanced Dividend AchieversTM Trust |
|
|
|
|
Investment Objective |
|
BlackRock Enhanced Dividend AchieversTM Trust (BDJ) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide current income and current gains, with a secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve these objectives by investing in common stocks that pay above average dividends and have the potential for capital appreciation and by utilizing an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance distributions paid to the Trust’s shareholders.
No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.
|
|
|
|
Performance |
|
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 8.08% based on market price and (1.63)% based on NAV. For the same period, the benchmark Dividend Achievers Index returned (0.63)% on a NAV basis, and the broader market, measured by the Russell 1000 Index and the Russell 1000 Value Index, returned 11.20% and 4.78%, respectively. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. In addition to covered call writing, the Trust seeks to generate income through positions in larger-cap stocks with attractive dividend yields, selected primarily from the Dividend Achievers Index. Over the period, this strategy was negatively affected by three factors: (1) higher-yielding stocks underperformed the market; (2) the drive for yield meant higher exposure to the financials sectors, which underperformed; and (3) mid-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks and growth stocks outperformed value stocks, each hurting the larger-cap, value-oriented Trust. Driven by near-record-high volatility, rich option call premiums received on the covered call portion of the Trust’s strategy during the early months of the period offset some of these negative impacts. This benefit was partially offset by the negative impact of the call options on capital appreciation as equity markets rallied in the second half of the period.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2009 |
BlackRock Strategic Dividend AchieversTM Trust |
|
|
|
Investment Objective |
BlackRock Strategic Dividend AchieversTM Trust (BDT) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks of small to mid-capitalization companies that pay above average dividends and have potential for capital appreciation. The Trust recently implemented an option writing (selling) strategy to help enhance current gains.
No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

|
Performance |
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 0.86% based on market price and (1.10)% based on NAV. For the same period, the benchmark Dividend Achievers Index returned (0.63)% on a NAV basis, and the broader market, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index and the Russell 1000 Value Index, returned 11.20% and 4.78%, respectively. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The Trust’s strategy is to generate above-average current income through positions in mid-and small-cap stocks with attractive dividend yields, selected primarily from the broad list of Dividend Achievers. Over the period, this strategy was negatively affected by three factors: (1) higher-yielding stocks underperformed the broader market; (2) the drive for yield meant higher exposure to the financials sectors, which underperformed; and (3) growth stocks outperformed value stocks, hurting the value-oriented Trust. Offsetting some of these negative impacts was the strong outperformance of mid-cap stocks, which represent almost half of the Trust. Further, the enhancement in early 2009 to the Trust’s strategy — writing calls on approximately 20% of the portfolio — added to current earnings, but at the expense of some capital appreciation, given the very strongly rising market.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2009 |
BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust |
|
|
|
|
Investment Objective |
|
BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust (BQR) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in equity securities issued by companies that are engaged in one or more of the new energy, water resources and agriculture business segments and utilizing an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance current gains.
No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.
|
|
|
|
Performance |
|
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 28.88% based on market price and 19.64% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Sector Equity Funds category posted an average return of 22.81% on a market price basis and 15.51% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Some of the agribusiness companies involved in grain handling were among the contributors to the Trust’s performance during the reporting period. This has been driven by a good harvest — and therefore higher volumes — in the US. Companies with exposure to sugar and palm oil also performed well. In the alternative energy space, companies involved with smart grid technologies benefited from the US stimulus package. Conversely, fertilizer companies performed poorly during the year. The financial crisis meant that financing was withdrawn from the global farming business. Farmers around the world, therefore, cut back on fertilizer application in 2009, which resulted in a supply surplus and a collapse in fertilizer prices. The Trust’s cash position, which was 6% of net assets at period-end, had a slightly negative effect on performance. The Trust’s call writing strategy added to current earnings, but at the expense of some capital appreciation, given the very strongly rising market.
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 October 31, 2009 |
BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust |
|
|
|
|
Investment Objective |
|
BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust (BGR) (formerly BlackRock Global Energy and Resources Trust) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Trust attempts to achieve this objective by investing primarily in equity securities of energy and natural resources companies and equity derivatives with exposure to the energy and natural resources industry.
No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.
|
|
|
|
Performance |
|
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 34.63% based on market price and 25.54% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Sector Equity Funds category returned 22.81% on a market price basis and 15.51% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Equity holdings in oil, gas and consumable fuels, metals and mining, and gold and other precious metals drove strong portfolio performance during the reporting period. These segments were among the first to rebound from market lows in March 2009, driven by a weaker US dollar, attractive valuations and improving supply/demand dynamics across natural resources. On the negative side, the Trust holds an outsized allocation to oil and gas exploration and production, which performed positively, but did not keep pace with other segments of the investment universe. The Trust’s call writing strategy added to current earnings, but at the expense of some capital appreciation, given the very strongly rising market.
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.

BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust |
|
|
|
|
Investment Objective |
|
|
|
|
|
|
BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust (BOE) (the “Trust”) seeks current income and current gains, with a secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its objectives by investing primarily in equity securities issued by companies located in countries throughout the world and utilizing an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance current gains. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Board approved a change to the Trust’s non-fundamental investment policies during the period. Please refer to page 100 in the Additional Information section. |
|
|
|
No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved. |
|
|
|
|
Performance |
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 34.97% based on market price and 20.50% based on NAV. For the same period, the benchmark S&P Global Broad Market Index posted a return of 25.44%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Stock selection was the main driver of performance. Positioning across materials, consumer discretionary, health care and consumer staples contributed positively to relative returns. In contrast, selection within financials, information technology and industrials were a drag on final results. Overweights in energy and materials were also detractors. The Trust’s call writing strategy added to current earnings, but at the expense of some capital appreciation, given the very strongly rising market. |

For the 12 months
ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 13.44% based on market price and
16.31% based on NAV. For the same period, the benchmark Russell 3000
Healthcare Index returned 7.74% on a NAV basis. 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. Stock selection was the main driver of performance.
Positive relative returns were led by positioning within the health care
equipment and supplies, life sciences tools and services, and health care
supplies sub-industries. Factors that detracted from results included the
Trust’s underweight positioning in pharmaceuticals and health care providers
and services, as well as its overweight in health care equipment and
supplies. Cash held at period-end was 5% of net assets, which had a minimal
impact on performance during the period. The Trust’s call writing strategy
added to current earnings, but at the expense of some capital appreciation,
given the very strongly rising market. |

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2009 |
BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust |
|
|
|
|
Investment Objective |
|
|
|
|
|
|
BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust (BGY) (the “Trust”) seeks current income and current gains, and secondarily long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its objectives by investing primarily in equity securities issued by companies of any market capitalization located in countries throughout the world and utilizing an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance current gains. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Board approved a change to the Trust’s non-fundamental investment policies during the period. Please refer to page 100 in the Additional Information section. |
|
|
|
No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved. |

|
|
|
Performance |
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 44.62% based on market price and 26.28% based on NAV. For the same period, the benchmark S&P Global Broad Market Index Ex-US returned 37.63% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which was eliminated as of October 31, 2009, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. On an absolute basis, contribution to fund performance was led by materials, financials and energy holdings, which appreciated meaningfully during the past 12 months. From a relative perspective, holding underweights in health care, consumer staples and utilities all helped, as did the Trust’s overweight in materials. In contrast, stock selection was led down by information technology and industrials holdings, which did not keep pace in the market’s rally. Cash held at period end was 8% of net assets, in-line with the average held over the time period. This marginally detracted from performance. The Trust’s call writing strategy added to current earnings, but at the expense of some capital appreciation, given the very strongly rising market. |

BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust (BCF) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide total return through a combination of current income, current gains and capital appreciation.

Performance |

|
|
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 67.81% based on market price and 40.96% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Sector Equity Funds category returned 22.81% on a market price basis and 15.51% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Metals and mining combined with gold and other precious metals drove strong portfolio performance. These segments were among the first to rebound from market lows in March 2009, driven by a weaker US dollar, attractive valuations and improving supply/demand dynamics. On the negative side, the Trust holds an outsized allocation to oil, gas and consumable fuels, which performed positively, but did not keep pace with other segments of the investment universe. The average cash position throughout the annual period was approximately 5% of net assets which detracted from relative returns as the market rebounded sharply and the Trust was not entirely invested. The Trust’s call writing strategy added to current earnings, but at the expense of some capital appreciation, given the very strongly rising market. |

|
Investment Objective |
|
BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust (BQY) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of issuers that pay above average dividends and have the potential for capital appreciation. The Trust recently implemented an option writing (selling) strategy to help enhance current gains.
The Board approved a change to the Trust’s non-fundamental investment policies during the period. Please refer to page 100 in the Additional Information section.
No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved.

|
|
|
Performance |
|
For the 12 months ended October 31, 2009, the Trust returned 19.63% based on market price and 17.64% based on NAV. For the same period, the benchmark MSCI World Developed Value Index returned 17.50% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. One positive contribution to performance was the Trust’s allocation to the Asia-Pacific (ex-Japan) region, where stocks, on average, were up more than 50% over the period. Additionally, the Trust’s exposure to high-quality stocks led to significant relative strength as the credit crisis intensified in late 2008 and into 2009. This reversed somewhat after March as investors’ risk appetite increased when the markets began to stabilize. The Trust’s focus on higher-yielding stocks created some headwind as these stocks underperformed low- or non-yielding securities over the period. Further, the Trust’s strategy was enhanced to take advantage of historically-high stock volatility. A modest amount of covered call writing was added to the strategy, capitalizing on very high call premiums. Approximately 20% of the portfolio has calls written against it, initiated at approximately 5%-10% out-of-the-money. The call premiums added to current earnings, but at the expense of some capital appreciation, given the very strongly rising market.
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.

The Trusts may invest in various derivative instruments, including foreign currency exchange contracts, options and swaps, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which constitute forms of economic leverage. Such instruments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market, equity and/or foreign currency exchange rate risks. Such derivative instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction and illiquidity of the derivative instrument. The Trusts’ ability to successfully use a derivative instrument depends on the investment advisor’s ability to accurately predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require the Trusts to sell or purchase portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation the Trusts can realize on an investment or may cause the Trusts to hold a security that it might otherwise sell. The Trusts’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

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

Fair Value Measurements—Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other marketcorroborated inputs) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |
|
|

|

|
• |
Level 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 marketcorroborated 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) |
|
|
|
|
|
|

Fair Value Measurements—Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |
|
|

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

|
|
• |
Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
|
|
|
|
|
|

Fair Value Measurements—Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following tables summarize the inputs used as of October 31, 2009 in determining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
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 |

Fair Value Measurements—Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

Fair Value Measurements—Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

Fair Value Measurements—Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 1 - price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:
BlackRock Dividend AchieversTM Trust (“BDV”), BlackRock Enhanced Dividend AchieversTM Trust (“BDJ”), BlackRock Strategic Dividend AchieversTM Trust (“BDT”), BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust (“BQR”), BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust (“BGR”) (formerly known as BlackRock Global Energy and Resources Trust), BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust (“BOE”), BlackRock Health Sciences Trust (“BME”), BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust (“BGY”), BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust (“BCF”) and BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust (“BQY”) (collectively, the “Trusts”) are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. All Trusts, except BQR, BGR, BME, BGY and BCF, are registered as diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). BQR, BGR, BME, BGY and BCF are registered as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the 1940 Act. The Trusts’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Trusts determine and make available for publication the net asset values of their shares on a daily basis.
BOE Reorganization: The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and the shareholders of each of BlackRock Global Equity Income Trust (“BFD”), BlackRock World Investment Trust (“BWC”) (the “Target Trusts”) and BOE approved the reorganization of each Target Trust into BOE (the “Reorganizations”). The Reorganizations were tax-free events and were effective as of the opening for business of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on July 27, 2009.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trusts:
Valuation: Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid price. If no bid price is available, the prior day’s price will be used unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the security. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes received daily by the Trusts’ pricing service or through brokers, which are derived using daily swap curves and trades of underlying securities. Short-term securities with maturities less than 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Trusts value their investments in the BlackRock Liquidity Series, LLC Money Market Series at fair value, which is ordinarily based upon their pro rata ownership in the net assets of the underlying fund.
Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mid 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 such 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 or through brokers using a mathematical model which incorporates a number of market data factors, such as the trades and prices of the underlying instruments.
In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or is not available, the investment will be valued by a method approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor 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 investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.
Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE. The values of such instruments used in computing the net assets of each Trust are determined as of such times. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such

Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
instruments may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of each Trust’s net assets. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such instruments, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board or by the investment advisor using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Board.
Foreign Currency Transactions: Foreign currency amounts are translated into United States dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange; and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Each Trust reports foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that a Trust either delivers collateral or segregates assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., swaps, written options or foreign currency exchange contracts), each Trust will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or other liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Trust has determined the ex-dividend date. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.
Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. If the total dividends and distributions made in any tax year exceeds net investment income and accumulated realized capital gains, a portion of the total distribution may be treated as a tax return of capital.
Securities Lending: The Trusts may lend securities to financial institutions that provide cash as collateral which will be maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Trusts and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Trusts on the next business day. The Trusts typically receive income on the loaned securities but do not receive the income on the collateral. The Trusts may invest the cash collateral and retain the amount earned on such investment, net of any amount rebated to the borrower. 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 Trusts may pay reasonable lending agent, administrative and custodial fees in connection with their loans. In the event that the borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities because of insolvency or for any other reason, the Trusts could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Trusts also could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.
Income Taxes: It is the Trusts’ policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provisions are required. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.
The Trusts file US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Trusts’ US federal tax returns remains open for the year ended October 31, 2009 and the preceding three taxable years of the respective Trust, if applicable. The statute of limitations on the Trusts’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.
Recent Accounting Standards: In June 2009, amended guidance was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board for transfers of financial assets. This guidance is intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of this guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, the enhanced disclosure provisions of the amended guidance should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this guidance. The impact of this guidance on the Trusts’ financial statements and disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.
Bank Overdraft: As of October 31, 2009, BGY and BQY recorded a bank overdraft resulting from the estimation of available cash. The overdraft balance incurs fees charged by the custodian which are included in custodian on the Statements of Operations.
Dividend Achievers Universe: BDV, BDJ and BDT have been granted a revocable license by Mergent®, Inc. (“Mergent”) to use the Dividend AchieversTM universe of common stocks. If Mergent revokes each Trust’s license to use the Dividend AchieversTM universe, the Board of that Trust may need to adopt a new investment strategy and/or new investment policies. There is no assurance that a Trust would pursue or achieve its investment objective

during the period in which it implements these replacement investment policies or strategies. ‘‘Mergent’’ and ‘‘Dividend AchieversTM’’ are trademarks of Mergent and have been licensed for use by BDV, BDJ, and BDT. The products are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Mergent and Mergent makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in any of these three Trusts. The Trusts are required to pay a quarterly licensing fee, which is shown in the Statements of Operations as licensing.
S&P Quality Rankings: BQY has been granted a license by Standard & Poor’s® (“S&P”) to use the S&P Quality Rankings and the S&P International Quality Rankings. If S&P terminates the license to use either the S&P Quality Rankings or the S&P International Quality Rankings, the Board may need to adopt a new investment strategy and/or new investment policies. There is no assurance that the Trust would pursue or achieve its investment objective during the period in which it implements these replacement investment policies or strategies. “Standard & Poor’s,” “S&P,” “Standard & Poor’s Earnings and Dividend Rankings,” “S&P Earnings and Dividend Rankings,” “Standard & Poor’s Quality Rankings,” “Standard & Poor’s International Quality Rankings,” “S&P International Quality Rankings” and “S&P Quality Rankings” are trademarks of Standard & Poor’s and have been licensed for use by the Trust. The Trust is not sponsored, managed, advised, sold or promoted by Standard & Poor’s. The Trust is required to pay a quarterly licensing fee, which is shown in the Statements of Operations as licensing.
Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each Trust’s Board, non-interested Trustees (“Independent Trustees”) defer a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of other BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees. This has approximately the same economic effect for the Independent Trustees as if the Independent Trustees had invested the deferred amounts directly in the other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds.
The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trust. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of other BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations. Investments to cover the Trusts’ deferred compensation liability are included in other assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends and distributions from the BlackRock Closed-End Fund investments under the plan are included in income - affiliated in the Statements of Operations.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Trust are charged to that Trust. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro-rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
2. Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Trusts may engage in various portfolio investment strategies both to increase the returns of the Trusts and to economically hedge, or protect, their exposure to certain risks such as equity risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The Trusts may mitigate counterparty risk through master netting agreements included within an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreement between a Trust and each of its counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement allows each Trust to offset with its counterparty certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held with each counterparty. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is based upon minimum transfer amounts of up to $500,000. To the extent amounts due to the Trusts from their counter-parties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Trusts bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation and Collateralization” for additional information with respect to collateral practices.
The Trusts’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the counter derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain in excess of any collateral pledged by the counterparty to the Trusts. For over-the-counter purchased options, the Trusts bear the risk of loss in the amount of the premiums paid and change in market value of the options should the counterparty not perform under the contracts. Options written by the Trusts do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as written options obligate the Trusts to perform and not the counterparty. Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to over-the-counter derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Trust’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or a Trust fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Trust to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts and options is minimal because of the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which they trade.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Certain Trusts may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions (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 currency backing some of the investments held by a Trust. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Trust as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a Trust records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that counterparties may not meet the terms of the agreement or unfavorable movements in the value of a currency relative to the US dollar.
Options: Certain Trusts may purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease their exposure to underlying instruments (equity risk). A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying instrument at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise price at

any time or at a specified time during the option period. When a Trust purchases (writes) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by a Trust is reflected as an asset (liability). The amount of the asset (liability) is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased (written). When an instrument is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the instrument sold. When an option expires (or a Trust enters into a closing transaction), a Trust realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received or paid). When a Trust writes a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that a Trust holds the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty, or cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation. When a Trust writes a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.
In purchasing and writing options, a Trust bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Trusts may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Exercise of a written option could result in a Trust purchasing or selling a security at a price different from the current market value. The Trusts may execute transactions in both listed and over-the-counter options.
Swaps: The Trusts may enter into swap agreements, in which a Trust and a counterparty agree to make periodic net payments on a specified notional amount. These periodic payments received or made by the Trusts are recorded in the accompanying Statements of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). When the swap is terminated, the Trust will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Trust’s basis in the contract, if any. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counter-party to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values associated with these transactions.

Total return swaps — The Trusts may enter into total return swaps to transfer the risk/return of one market (e.g., fixed income) to another market (e.g., equity) (equity risk and/or interest rate risk). Total return swaps are agreements in which one party commits to pay interest in exchange for the total return (coupons plus capital gains/losses) of an underlying asset. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Trust will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. |

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BAC became a stockholder of BlackRock following its acquisition of Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) on January 1, 2009. Prior to that date, both PNC and Merrill Lynch were considered affiliates of the Trusts under the 1940 Act. Subsequent to the acquisition, PNC remains an affiliate, but due to the restructuring of Merrill Lynch’s ownership interest of BlackRock, BAC is not deemed to be an affiliate under the 1940 Act.
Each Trust entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Trusts’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services.
The Manager is responsible for the management of the each Trust’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Trusts. For such services, the Trusts pay the Manager a monthly fee at the following annual rates of the average weekly value of each Trust’s net assets: 0.65% for BDV, 1.00% for BDJ, 0.75% for BDT, 1.20% for BQR, 1.20% for BGR, 1.00% for BOE, 1.00% for BME, 1.00% for BGY, 1.20% for BCF and 0.75% for BQY. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fees on BGR and BCF as a percentage of their average weekly net assets as follows: 0.20% for the first five years of the Trusts’ operations (2004 through 2009 for BGR and 2006 through 2011 for BCF), 0.15% in 2010 for BGR and in 2012 for BCF, 0.10% in 2011 for BGR and in 2013 for BCF and 0.05% in 2012 for BGR and in 2014 for BCF.
The Manager has entered into separate sub-advisory agreements with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. for BDV, BDJ, BDT and BQY, State Street Research & Management Company for BGR and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), BlackRock Capital Management, Inc. for BGY and BCF and BlackRock International Limited for BQR and BCF, each an affiliate of the Manager. The Manager pays each sub-advisor for services they provide, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fee paid by each Trust to the Manager.
Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“MLPF&S”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch, for the period November 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008 (after which time Merrill Lynch was no longer considered an affiliate), earned commissions on transactions of securities as follows:

The Trusts have received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting them to lend portfolio securities to MLPF&S or its affiliates. Pursuant to that order, the Trusts have retained BIM as the securities lending agent for a fee based on a share of the income from investment of cash collateral. BIM may, on behalf of the Trusts, invest cash collateral received by the Trusts for such loans, among other things, in a private investment company managed by the Manager or in registered money market funds advised by the Manager or its affiliates. The share of income earned by the Trusts on such investments is shown as securities lending - affiliated in the Statements of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2009, BIM received $66,834 in securities lending agent fees.
Certain officers and/or trustees of the Trusts are officers and/or trustees of BlackRock, Inc. or its affiliates. The Trusts reimburse the Manager for compensation paid to the Trusts’ Chief Compliance Officer.

The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains (losses) were attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the tax deferral of losses on straddles, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain foreign currency contracts, the timing and recognition of partnership income, investments in passive foreign investment companies, the deferral of compensation to trustees, the treatment of certain security lending transactions and the accounting for Real Estate Investment Trusts. |
As of October 31, 2009, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains through the indicated expiration dates:

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

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Trusts, including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trusts’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Trusts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trusts’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trusts as of October 31, 2009, the results of their operations for the period then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements |
|
The Board of Trustees (each, a “Board” and, collectively, the “Boards,” and the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of each of BlackRock Dividend AchieversTM Trust (“BDV”), BlackRock Enhanced Dividend AchieversTM Trust (“BDJ”), BlackRock Strategic Dividend AchieversTM Trust (“BDT”), BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust (“BQR”), BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust (“BGR”), BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust (“BOE”), BlackRock Health Sciences Trust (“BME”), BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust (“BGY”), BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust (“BCF”) and BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust (“BQY,” and together with BDV, BDJ, BDT, BQR, BGR, BOE, BME, BGY and BCF, each a “Fund,” and, collectively, the “Funds”) met on April 14, 2009 and May 28-29, 2009 to consider the approval of its respective Fund’s investment advisory agreement (each, an “Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), each Fund’s investment advisor. The Board of each of BDV, BDJ, BDT, BQR, BGR, BGY, BCF and BQY also considered the approval of a sub-advisory agreement (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between its respective Fund, the Manager and one of the following sub-advisors, as the case may be: BlackRock Financial Management, Inc.; State Street Research & Management Company; BlackRock Investment Management, LLC; BlackRock International Limited; and BlackRock Capital Management, Inc. (each, a “Sub-Advisor”). The Manager and the Sub-Advisors are referred to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to herein as the “Agreements.” Unless otherwise indicated, references to actions taken by the “Board” or the “Boards” shall mean each Board acting independently with respect to its respective Fund.
Activities and Composition of the Boards
Each Board consists of twelve individuals, ten of whom are not “interested persons” of the Funds as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board Members of each Fund are responsible for the oversight of the operations of such Fund and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chairman of each Board is an Independent Board Member. Each Board has established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee and an Executive Committee, each of which is composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Executive Committee, which has one interested Board Member) and is chaired by an Independent Board Member.
The Agreements
Pursuant to the 1940 Act, each Board is required to consider the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. In connection with this process, each Board assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to its respective Fund by the personnel of BlackRock and its affiliates, including investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services and assistance in meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Throughout the year, the Boards, acting directly and through their committees, consider at each of their meetings factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the services and support provided by BlackRock to the Funds and their shareholders. Among the matters the Boards considered were: (a) investment performance for one-, three- and five-year periods, as applicable, against peer funds, and applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as senior management and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for any out performance or underperformance against its peers; (b) fees, including advisory and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Funds for services such as call center and fund accounting; (c) the Funds’ operating expenses; (d) the resources devoted to, and compliance reports relating to, the Funds’ investment objectives, policies and restrictions; (e) the Funds’ compliance with their Code of Ethics and compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Boards; (i) the use of brokerage commissions and execution quality; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of the Funds’ valuation and liquidity procedures; and (k) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business.
Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements
The Approval Process: Prior to the April 14, 2009 meeting, each Board requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. Each Board is engaged in an ongoing process with BlackRock to continuously review the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist their deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the April meeting included (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on Fund fees and expenses, and the investment performance of each Fund as compared with a peer group of funds as determined by Lipper (collectively, “Peers”); (b) information on the profitability of the Agreements to BlackRock and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders; (c) a general analysis provided by BlackRock concerning investment advisory fees charged to other clients, such as institutional clients and open-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as well as the performance of such other clients; (d) the impact of economies of scale; (e) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by each Fund to BlackRock; and (f) an internal comparison of management fees classified by Lipper, if applicable.
At an in-person meeting held on April 14, 2009, each Board reviewed materials relating to its consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the April 14, 2009 meeting, the Boards presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information and BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the May 28-29, 2009 Board meeting.
At an in-person meeting held on May 28-29, 2009, each Fund’s Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and such Fund and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between such Fund, the Manager and such Fund’s Sub-Advisor, as applicable, each for a one-year term ending

June 30, 2010. The Boards considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to the Funds, including, among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of the Funds and BlackRock portfolio management; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and certain affiliates from their relationship with the Funds; (d) economies of scale; and (e) other factors.
Each Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as services related to the valuation and pricing of its respective Fund’s portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders from their relationship with such Fund and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Board’s review. The Boards noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Boards. The Boards did not identify any particular information as controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered.
A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services
Each Board, including its Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of its respective Fund. Throughout the year, each Board compared its respective Fund’s performance to the performance of a comparable group of closed-end funds, and the performance of a relevant benchmark, if any. The Boards met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. Each Board also reviewed the materials provided by its respective Fund’s portfolio management team discussing such Fund’s performance and such Fund’s investment objective, strategies and outlook.
Each Board considered, among other factors, the number, education and experience of BlackRock’s investment personnel generally and its respective Fund’s portfolio management team, investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage, BlackRock’s portfolio trading capabilities, BlackRock’s use of technology, BlackRock’s commitment to compliance and BlackRock’s approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. Each Board also reviewed a general description of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to its respective Fund’s portfolio management team and BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent.
In addition to advisory services, each Board considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to its respective Fund. BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders provide the Funds with certain administrative and other services (in addition to any such services provided to the Funds by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Funds. In addition to investment advisory services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Funds with other services, including (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus and the statement of additional information in connection with the initial public offering and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) preparing communications with analysts to support secondary market trading of the Funds; (iii) assisting with daily accounting and pricing; (iv) preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; (v) overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; (vi) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (vii) providing legal and compliance support; and (viii) performing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of the Funds, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements, and call center services. The Boards reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and BlackRock
Each Board, including its Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of its respective Fund. In preparation for the April 14, 2009 meeting, the Boards were provided with reports, independently prepared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of each Fund’s performance. The Boards also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various factors that affect Lipper’s rankings. In connection with its review, each Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of its respective Fund as compared to a representative group of similar funds as determined by Lipper and to all funds in such Fund’s applicable Lipper category. Each Board was provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds. Each Board regularly reviews the performance of its respective Fund throughout the year.
The Board of each of BOE and BQY noted that, in general, BOE and BQY performed better than their respective Peers in that the performance of each of BOE and BQY was at or above the median of their respective Lipper performance universe in two of the one-year, three-year and since inception periods reported.
The Board of each of BDV, BME, and BDT noted that, in general, BDV, BME, and BDT performed better than their respective Peers in that the performance of each of BDV, BME, and BDT was at or above the median of their respective Lipper performance universe in each of the one-year, three-year and since inception periods reported.
The Board of BQR noted that BQR performed below the median of its Lipper performance universe in the one-year and since inception periods reported. The Board of BQR and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for BQR’s underperformance during these periods compared with its Peers. The Board of BQR was informed that, among other things, all three sectors in which BQR primarily invests struggled. The Board of BQR was also informed that BQR’s peer group includes many different single sector funds, including more defensive areas which could considerably outperform in the current market environment.
The Board of BGR noted that BGR performed below the median of its Lipper performance universe in the one-year, three-year and since inception periods reported. The Board of BGR and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for BGR’s

underperformance during these periods compared with its Peers. The Board of BGR was informed that, among other things, a lack of exposure to refining and marketing and gas utility stocks detracted from performance.
The Board of BDJ noted that BDJ performed below the median of its Lipper performance universe in the three-year and since inception periods reported and BDJ performed above the median of its Lipper performance universe in the one-year period reported. The Board of BDJ and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for BDJ’s underperformance during these periods compared with its Peers. The Board of BDJ was informed that, among other things, BDJ’s position in high yielding stocks significantly underperformed stocks with lower yield and no yield and the drive for yield in the portfolio resulted in a relatively sizable exposure to financial stocks, which have been one of the weakest performing sectors.
The Board of BGY noted that BGY performed below the median of its Lipper performance universe in the one-year and since inception periods reported. The Board of BGY and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for BGY’s underperformance during these periods compared with its Peers. The Board of BGY was informed that, among other things, BGY invests primarily in non-US companies, which detracted from performance relative to its Peers, which invest primarily in US stocks.
The Board of BCF noted that BCF performed below the median of its Lipper performance universe in the one-year and since inception periods reported. The Board of BCF and BlackRock reviewed the reasons for BCF’s underperformance during these periods compared with its Peers. The Board of BCF was informed that, among other things, all major areas of BCF’s exposure, including Energy, Materials and Mining, posted significant declines over the course of the year. The Board of BCF was also informed that BCF’s peer group includes many different single sector funds
For BQR, BGR, BDJ, BGY and BCF, the Board of each respective Fund and BlackRock discussed BlackRock’s commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist the portfolio managers and to improve each such Fund’s performance.

Consideration of the Advisory Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Funds |
Each Board, including its Independent Board Members, reviewed its respective Fund’s contractual advisory fee rates compared with the other funds in its respective Lipper category. Each Board also compared its respective Fund’s total expenses, as well as actual management fees, to those of other comparable funds. Each Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, including separately managed institutional accounts.
The Boards received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided the Funds. The Boards were also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to the Funds. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to the Funds and other funds the Boards currently oversee for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to other fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Boards recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers by the Manager, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat limited.
The Boards noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. Nevertheless, to the extent such information is available, the Boards considered BlackRock’s overall operating margin, in general, compared to the operating margin for leading investment management firms whose operations include advising closed-end funds, among other product types. The comparison indicated that operating margins for BlackRock with respect to its registered funds are generally consistent with margins earned by similarly situated publicly traded competitors. In addition, the Boards considered, among other things, certain third-party data comparing BlackRock’s operating margin with that of other publicly-traded asset management firms, which concluded that larger asset bases do not, in themselves, translate to higher profit margins.
In addition, the Boards considered the cost of the services provided to the Funds by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to the management and distribution of the Funds and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of their analysis, the Boards reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Funds. The Boards also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Boards.
The Board of each of BDV, BGR, BDJ, BOE, BME, BGY, BCF, BQY and BDT noted that its respective Fund paid contractual management fees, which do not take into account any expense reimbursement or fee waivers, lower than or equal to the median contractual management fees paid by such Fund’s Peers.
The Board of BQR noted that although BQR paid contractual management fees higher than the median of its Peers, its actual management fees were lower than or equal to the median of its Peers.
D. Economies of Scale
Each Board, including its Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of its respective Fund increase and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable such Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the assets of such Fund. The Boards considered that the funds in the BlackRock fund complex share some

common resources and, as a result, an increase in the overall size of the complex could permit each fund to incur lower expenses than it would otherwise as a stand-alone entity. The Boards also considered BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations.
The Boards noted that most closed-end fund complexes do not have fund level breakpoints because closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial growth after the initial public offering and each fund is managed independently, consistent with its own investment objectives. The Boards noted that only one closed-end fund in the Fund Complex has breakpoints in its fee structure. Information provided by Lipper also revealed that only one closed-end fund complex used a complex-level breakpoint structure.
E. Other Factors
The Boards also took into account other ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates and significant shareholders may derive from their relationship with the Funds, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates and significant shareholders as service providers to the Funds, including for administrative and distribution services. The Boards also noted that BlackRock may use third-party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain mutual fund transactions to assist itself in managing all or a number of its other client accounts.
In connection with their consideration of the Agreements, the Boards also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Boards received reports from BlackRock, which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.
Conclusion
Each Board, including its Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between its respective Fund and the Manager for a one-year term ending June 30, 2010 and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between such Fund, the Manager and such Fund’s Sub-Advisor, as applicable, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2010. Based upon its evaluation of all these factors in their totality, each Board, including its Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of its respective Fund and its shareholders. In arriving at a decision to approve the Agreements, each Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination. The contractual fee arrangements for each Fund reflects the results of several years of review by such Fund’s Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. Certain aspects of the arrangements may be the subject of more attention in some years than in others, and the Board Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.

Pursuant to each Trust’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), common shareholders are automatically enrolled, to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains reinvested by The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Plan Agent”) in the respective Trust’s shares pursuant to the Plan. Shareholders who do not participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check and mailed directly to the shareholders of record (or if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Plan Agent.
After a Trust declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ account, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Trust (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by open market purchases. If, on the dividend payment date, the net asset value per share (“NAV”) is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV on the date the shares are issued. However, if the NAV is less than 95% of the market price on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is greater than the market value per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market discount”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases.
The Plan Agent’s fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by each Trust. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any Federal income tax that may be payable on such dividends or distributions.
Each Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, each Trust reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants who request a sale of shares through the Plan Agent are subject to a $0.02 per share sold brokerage commission. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, P.O. Box 358035, Pittsburgh, PA 15252-8035; or by calling 1-866-216-0242.

Date shown is the earliest date a person has served for any of Trusts covered by this annual report. Following the combination of Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P. (“MLIM”) and BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”) in September 2006, the various legacy MLIM and legacy BlackRock Fund boards were realigned and consolidated into three new Fund boards in 2007. As a result, although the chart shows certain trustees as joining the Fund’s board in 2007, each director first became a member of the board of other legacy MLIM or legacy BlackRock Funds as follows: G. Nicholas Beckwith, III, 1999; Richard E. Cavanagh, 1994; Kent Dixon, 1988; Frank J. Fabozzi, 1988; Kathleen F. Feldstein, 2005; James T. Flynn, 1996; Jerrold B. Harris, 1999; R. Glenn Hubbard, 2004; W. Carl Kester, 1998 and Karen P. Robards, 1998. |

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

General Information |
|
The Trusts do not make available copies of their Statements of Additional Information because the Trusts’ shares are not continuously offered, which means that the Statement of Additional Information of each Trust has not been updated after completion of the respective Trust’s offerings and the information contained in each Trust’s Statement of Additional Information may have become outdated.
BOE’s, BGY’s and BQY’s Boards each approved a change to certain non-fundamental investment policies of the Trusts. Under normal circumstances, the Trusts anticipate it will allocate a substantial amount (approximately 40% or more — unless market conditions are not deemed favorable by the Advisor, in which case the Trusts would invest at least 30%) — of its total assets in securities of (i) foreign government issuers, (ii) issuers organized or located outside the U.S., (iii) issuers which primarily trade in a market located outside the U.S., or (iv) issuers doing a substantial amount of business outside the U.S., which the Trusts consider to be companies that derive at least 50% of their revenue or profits from business outside the U.S. or have at least 50% of their sales or assets outside the U.S. The Trusts will allocate its assets among various regions and countries, including the United States (but in no less than three different countries). This change in the Trusts’ non-fundamental investment policy may reduce the Trusts’ flexibility to respond to global market events. For temporary defensive purposes, the Trusts may deviate very substantially from the allocation described above.
BGR’s Board recently approved a change to the Trust’s name from “BlackRock Global Energy and Resources Trust” to “BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust.”
Other than the revisions to BOE’s, BGY’s and BQY’s investment policy discussed above, during the period there were no material changes in the Trusts’ investment objectives or policies or to the Trusts’ charters or by-laws that were not approved by the shareholders or in the principal risk factors associated with investment in the Trusts. There have been no changes in the persons who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Trusts’ portfolios.

|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Robards has a thorough understanding of generally accepted accounting principles, financial statements and internal control over financial reporting as well as audit committee functions.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: |
|
|
|
|
|
The registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the registrant’s affiliated service providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operation or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 for all of the registrants the Committee oversees. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels. |
|
|
|
|
|
Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels. |
|
|
|
|
|
(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. |

Item 7 – |
Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies – The board of directors has delegated the voting of proxies for the Fund securities to the Fund’s investment adviser (“Investment Adviser”) pursuant to the Investment Adviser’s proxy voting guidelines. Under these guidelines, the Investment Adviser will vote proxies related to Fund securities in the best interests of the Fund and its stockholders. From time to time, a vote may present a conflict between the interests of the Fund’s stockholders, on the one hand, and those of the Investment Adviser, or any affiliated person of the Fund or the Investment Adviser, on the other. In such event, provided that the Investment Adviser’s Equity Investment Policy Oversight Committee, or a sub-committee thereof (the “Oversight Committee”) is aware of the real or potential conflict or material non-routine matter and if the Oversight Committee does not reasonably believe it is able to follow its general voting guidelines (or if the particular proxy matter is not addressed in the guidelines) and vote impartially, the Oversight Committee may retain an independent fiduciary to advise the Oversight Committee on how to vote or to cast votes on behalf of the Investment Adviser’s clients. If the Investment Adviser determines not to retain an independent fiduciary, or does not desire to follow the advice of such independent fiduciary, the Oversight Committee shall determine how to vote the proxy after consulting with the Investment Adviser’s Portfolio Management Group and/or the Investment Adviser’s Legal and Compliance Department and concluding that the vote cast is in its client’s best interest notwithstanding the conflict. A copy of the Fund’s Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures are attached as Exhibit 99.PROXYPOL. Information on |
|
|
|
|
|
how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge, (i) at www.blackrock.com and (ii) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. |

(iv) Potential Material Conflicts of Interest |
|
|
|
|
|
BlackRock and its affiliates (collectively, herein “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, its affiliates and significant shareholders and any officer, director, stockholder or employee may or may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale BlackRock recommends to the Fund. BlackRock, or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders, or any officer, director, stockholder, 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’s (or its affiliates’ or significant shareholders’) officers, directors or employees are directors or officers, or companies as to which BlackRock 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. Each portfolio manager also may manage accounts whose investment strategies may at times be opposed to the strategy utilized for a fund. In this connection, it should be noted that Mr. Callan and Ms. Xie currently manage certain accounts that are subject to performance fees. In addition, Mr. Callan and Ms. Xie assist in managing certain hedge funds and may be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive fees earned on such funds and a portion of such incentive fees may be voluntarily or involuntarily deferred. Additional portfolio managers may in the future manage other such accounts or funds and may be entitled to receive incentive fees. |
|
|
|
|
|
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 has adopted a policy that is intended to ensure that investment opportunities are allocated fairly and equitably among client accounts over time. This policy also seeks to achieve 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. |

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- and, for certain portfolio managers, revenue-based discretionary bonus, participation in various benefits programs and one or more of the incentive compensation programs established by BlackRock such as its Long-Term Retention and Incentive Plan and Restricted Stock Program. |
|
|
|
|
|
Base compensation. Generally, portfolio managers receive base compensation based on their seniority and/or their position with the firm. Senior portfolio managers who perform additional |
|
|
|
|
|
management functions within the portfolio management group or within BlackRock may receive additional compensation for serving in these other capacities. |
|
|
|
|
|
Discretionary Incentive Compensation for Mr. Callan and Ms. Xie |
|
|
|
|
|
Discretionary incentive compensation is based on a formulaic compensation program. BlackRock’s formulaic portfolio manager compensation program includes: pre-tax investment performance relative to appropriate competitors or benchmarks over 1-, 3- and 5-year performance periods and a team revenue component. If a portfolio manager’s tenure is less than five years, performance periods will reflect time in position. In most cases, including for the portfolio managers of the Fund, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Fund or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers determine the benchmarks against which the performance of funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager is compared and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to the portfolio managers, such benchmarks for the Fund include the following: |
|
|
|
|
Portfolio Manager |
Benchmarks Applicable to Each Manager |
|
Thomas P. Callan |
A combination of market-based indices (e.g., Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, Lipper Health/Biotechnology Funds Index, The Russell 3000 Healthcare Index, The S&P/Citigroup Extended Market Index U.S., The S&P/Citigroup Global BMI, NYSE Arca Tech 100 Index, S&P Citigroup Broad Market Index Global Ex-U.S., S&P/Citigroup Extended Market Index Global Ex-U.S.), certain customized indices and certain fund industry peer groups. |
|
Erin Xie |
A combination of market-based indices (e.g., Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, Lipper Health/Biotechnology Funds Index, The Russell 3000 Healthcare Index, NYSE Arca Tech 100 Index), certain customized indices and certain fund industry peer groups. |
|
|
|
|
|
Portfolio managers who meet relative investment performance and financial management objectives during a specified performance time period are eligible to receive an additional bonus which may or may not be a large part of their overall compensation. 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, workforce diversity, supervision, technology and innovation. All factors are considered collectively by BlackRock management. |
|
|
|
|
|
Discretionary Incentive Compensation for Mr. McClements |
|
|
|
|
|
Discretionary incentive compensation is a function of several components: the performance of BlackRock, Inc., the performance of the portfolio manager’s group within BlackRock, the investment performance, including risk-adjusted returns, of the firm’s assets under management or supervision by that portfolio manager relative to predetermined benchmarks, and the individual’s seniority, role within the portfolio management team, teamwork and contribution to the overall performance of these portfolios and BlackRock. In most cases, including for the portfolio managers of the Fund, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Fund or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. |
|
|
|
|
|
BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers determine the benchmarks against which the performance of funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager is compared and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to Mr. McClements, such benchmarks for the Fund’s option strategy include the Lipper Options Arbitrage/Options Strategies Funds classification. |
|
|
|
|
|
BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers make a subjective determination with respect to the portfolio manager’s compensation based on the performance of the funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager relative to the various benchmarks noted above. Performance is measured on a pre-tax basis over various time periods including 1, 3 and 5-year periods, as applicable. |

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. The BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units, if properly vested, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Typically, the cash bonus, when combined with base salary, represents more than 60% of total compensation for the portfolio managers. Paying a portion of annual bonuses in 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. |

Long-Term Retention and Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) — The LTIP is a long-term incentive plan that seeks to reward certain key employees. Prior to 2006, the plan provided for the grant of awards that were expressed as an amount of cash that, if properly vested and subject to the attainment of certain performance goals, will be settled in cash and/or in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Beginning in 2006, awards are granted under the LTIP in the form of BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units that, if properly vested and subject to the attainment of certain performance goals, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Messrs. Callan and McClements and Ms. Xie have each received awards under the LTIP. |

Deferred Compensation Program — A portion of the compensation paid to eligible BlackRock employees may be voluntarily deferred into an account that tracks the performance of certain of the firm’s investment products. Each participant in the deferred compensation program is permitted to allocate his deferred amounts among the various investment options. Messrs. Callan and McClements and Ms. Xie have each participated in the deferred compensation program. |

Incentive Savings Plans — BlackRock, Inc. has created a variety of incentive savings plans in which BlackRock employees are eligible to participate, including a 401(k) plan, the BlackRock Retirement Savings Plan (RSP), and the BlackRock Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The employer contribution components of the RSP include a company match equal to 50% of the first 6% of eligible pay contributed to the plan capped at $4,000 per year, and a company retirement contribution equal to 3-5% of eligible compensation. The RSP offers a range of investment options, including registered investment companies managed by the firm. BlackRock contributions follow the investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or, |
|
|
|
|
|
absent employee investment direction, are invested into a balanced portfolio. 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 or a dollar value of $25,000. Each portfolio manager is eligible to participate in these plans. |
