The Markets in Review
Dear Shareholder,
Significant economic headwinds emerged during the 12-month reporting period ended January 31, 2023, as investors navigated changing economic conditions and volatile markets. The U.S. economy shrank in the first half of 2022 before returning to modest growth in the second half of the year, marking a shift to a more challenging post-reopening economic environment. Changes in consumer spending patterns and a tight labor market led to elevated inflation, which reached a 40-year high before beginning to moderate. Moreover, while the foremost effect of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been a severe humanitarian crisis, the ongoing war continued to present challenges for both investors and policymakers.
Equity prices fell as interest rates rose, particularly during the first half of the reporting period. Both large- and small-capitalization U.S. stocks fell, although equities began to recover in the second half of the period as inflation eased and economic growth resumed. Emerging market stocks and international equities from developed markets declined overall, pressured by rising interest rates and a strong U.S. dollar.
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose notably during the reporting period, driving its price down, as investors reacted to fluctuating inflation data and attempted to anticipate its impact on future interest rate changes. The corporate bond market also faced inflationary headwinds, and higher interest rates led to rising borrowing costs for corporate issuers.
The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), acknowledging that inflation has been more persistent than expected, raised interest rates seven times. Furthermore, the Fed wound down its bond-buying programs and is accelerating the reduction of its balance sheet. While the Fed suggested that additional rate hikes were likely, it also gave indications that the pace of increases would slow if inflation continued to subside.
Restricted labor supply kept inflation elevated even as other inflation drivers, such as goods prices and energy costs, moderated. While economic growth slowed in the last year, we believe that taming inflation requires a more substantial decline that lowers demand to a level more in line with the economy’s productive capacity. Although the Fed has decelerated the pace of interest rate hikes, it still seems determined to get inflation back to target. With this in mind, we believe the possibility of a U.S. recession in the near-term is high, but the dimming economic outlook has not yet been fully reflected in current market prices. Investors should expect a period of higher volatility as markets adjust to the new economic reality and policymakers attempt to adapt to rapidly changing conditions.
While we favor an overweight to equities in the long-term, several factors lead us to take an underweight stance on equities overall in the near term. We believe that higher input costs and a deteriorating economic backdrop are likely to challenge corporate earnings, while the market’s concerns over excessive rate hikes could remain until the Fed indicates that its tightening cycle has ended. Nevertheless, we see opportunities in credit, where valuations are attractive and higher yields provide income opportunities. We believe that global investment-grade corporates, global inflation-linked bonds, and U.S. mortgage-backed securities offer strong opportunities for a six- to twelve-month horizon.
Overall, our view is that investors need to think globally, position themselves to be prepared for a decarbonizing economy, and be nimble as market conditions change. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and visit blackrock.com for further insight about investing in today’s markets.
Sincerely,

Municipal Market Overview For the Reporting Period Ended January 31, 2023
Municipal Market Conditions
Municipal bonds posted negative total returns during the period alongside rising interest rates spurred by surging inflation and aggressive Fed policy tightening. The market experienced a drawdown on par with some of the worst on record as the U.S. central bank delivered 425bps of rate hikes at the fastest pace in history. However, growing expectations for a pause in policy tightening later in the period offered a reprieve. Strong credit fundamentals, bolstered by robust revenue growth and elevated fund balances, drove positive excess returns versus comparable U.S. Treasuries. Shorter-duration (i.e., less sensitive to interest rates) and higher-rated bonds outperformed.
| | |
| |
During the 12 months ended January 31, 2023, municipal bond funds experienced net outflows totaling $141 billion (based on data from the Investment Company Institute), marking the largest outflow cycle on record. As a result, elevated bid-wanted activity weighed on the market as investors raised cash to meet redemptions. At the same time, the market absorbed $347 billion in issuance, below the $453 billion issued during the prior 12-months. New issue oversubscriptions waned as sentiment turned less constructive. | | Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index Total Returns as of January 31, 2023 6 months: 0.73% 12 months: (3.25)% |

A Closer Look at Yields
| | | | |
| | | | From January 31, 2022, to January 31, 2023, yields on AAA-rated 30-year municipal bonds increased by 125 basis points (“bps”) from 1.95% to 3.20%, while ten-year rates increased by 64 bps from 1.55% to 2.19% and five-year rates increased by 83 bps from 1.22% to 2.05% (as measured by Thomson Municipal Market Data). As a result, the municipal yield curve flattened over the 12-month period with the spread between two- and 30-year maturities flattening by 2 bps. However, the curve remained relatively steep compared to the deeply inverted U.S. Treasury curve, which flattened by 150 bps. The selloff experienced in early 2022 helped restore value to the asset class before outperformance in the latter half of the year stretched valuations across the curve. Municipal-to-Treasury ratios now sit below their 5-year averages, most notably in the front end of the curve. |
Financial Conditions of Municipal Issuers
Buoyed by successive federal aid injections, vaccine distribution, and the re-opening of the economy, states and many local governments experienced revenue growth above forecasts in 2021 and 2022. While revenue collections, particularly sales and personal income tax receipts, continue to be robust in an environment of higher inflation, growth may subside as inflation declines or the economy slows. In the meantime, prevailing higher wages, energy costs, and interest rates in the post-Covid recovery will pressure state and local government costs. However, overall credit fundamentals are expected to remain sturdy. At this point, tax receipts could come under pressure although states with significant oil and gas production would benefit should prices remain elevated or rise. While municipal utilities typically benefit from autonomous rate-setting that allows them to adjust for rising fuel costs, rising commodity prices over a prolonged period could test affordability and the political will to raise rates to balance operations. State housing authority bonds, flagship universities, and strong national and regional health systems may also be pressured but are better poised to absorb the impact of the economic shock. Critical providers (safety net hospitals, mass transit systems, airports) with limited resources may still experience fiscal strain from the economic fallout from rising inflation, but aid and the re-opening of the economy will continue to support operating results through 2023. Work-from-home policies remain headwinds for mass transit farebox revenue and commercial real estate values. BlackRock anticipates that a small subset of the market, mainly non-rated stand-alone projects, will remain susceptible to credit deterioration.
The opinions expressed are those of BlackRock as of January 31, 2023 and are subject to change at any time due to changes in market or economic conditions. The comments should not be construed as a recommendation of any individual holdings or market sectors. Investing involves risk including loss of principal. Bond values fluctuate in price so the value of your investment can go down depending on market conditions. Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not be able to make principal and interest payments. There may be less information on the financial condition of municipal issuers than for public corporations. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds. Some investors may be subject to Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”). Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable.
The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, a broad, market value-weighted index, seeks to measure the performance of the U.S. municipal bond market. All bonds in the index are exempt from U.S. federal income taxes or subject to the AMT. Past performance is not an indication of future results. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging
The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the distribution rate on, and net asset value (“NAV”) of, their common shares (“Common Shares”). However, there is no guarantee that these objectives can be achieved in all interest rate environments.
In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the financing cost of leverage, which is based on short-term interest rates, is normally lower than the income earned by a Fund on its longer-term portfolio investments purchased with the proceeds from leverage. To the extent that the total assets of each Fund (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, each Fund’s shareholders benefit from the incremental net income. The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage (after paying the leverage costs) is paid to shareholders in the form of dividends, and the value of these portfolio holdings (less the leverage liability) is reflected in the per share NAV.
To illustrate these concepts, assume a Fund’s Common Shares capitalization is $100 million and it utilizes leverage for an additional $30 million, creating a total value of $130 million available for investment in longer-term income securities. If prevailing short-term interest rates are 3% and longer-term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive slope. In this case, a Fund’s financing costs on the $30 million of proceeds obtained from leverage are based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the securities purchased by a Fund with the proceeds from leverage earn income based on longer-term interest rates. In this case, a Fund’s financing cost of leverage is significantly lower than the income earned on a Fund’s longer-term investments acquired from such leverage proceeds, and therefore the holders of Common Shares (“Common Shareholders”) are the beneficiaries of the incremental net income.
However, in order to benefit Common Shareholders, the return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds must exceed the ongoing costs associated with the leverage. If interest and other costs of leverage exceed a Fund’s return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds, income to shareholders is lower than if a Fund had not used leverage. In such circumstance, the investment adviser may nevertheless determine to maintain a Fund’s leverage if it deems such action to be appropriate. Furthermore, the value of the Funds’ portfolio investments generally varies inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. In contrast, the amount of each Fund’s obligations under its respective leverage arrangement generally does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Funds’ NAVs positively or negatively. Changes in the future direction of interest rates are very difficult to predict accurately, and there is no assurance that a Fund’s intended leveraging strategy will be successful.
The use of leverage also generally causes greater changes in each Fund’s NAV, market price and dividend rates than comparable portfolios without leverage. In a declining market, leverage is likely to cause a greater decline in the NAV and market price of a Fund’s Common Shares than if the Fund were not leveraged. In addition, each Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments, which may cause the Fund to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit a Fund’s ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies. Each Fund incurs expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by Common Shareholders and may reduce income to the Common Shares. Moreover, to the extent the calculation of each Fund’s investment advisory fees includes assets purchased with the proceeds of leverage, the investment advisory fees payable to the Funds’ investment adviser will be higher than if the Funds did not use leverage.
To obtain leverage, each Fund has issued Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares (“VRDP Shares” or “Preferred Shares”) and/or leveraged its assets through the use of tender option bond trusts (“TOB Trusts”) as described in the Notes to Financial Statements.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), each Fund is permitted to borrow money (including through the use of TOB Trusts) or issue debt securities up to 33 1/3% of its total managed assets or equity securities (e.g., Preferred Shares) up to 50% of its total managed assets. A Fund may voluntarily elect to limit its leverage to less than the maximum amount permitted under the 1940 Act. In addition, a Fund may also be subject to certain asset coverage, leverage or portfolio composition requirements imposed by the Preferred Shares’ governing instruments or by agencies rating the Preferred Shares, which may be more stringent than those imposed by the 1940 Act.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Funds may invest in various derivative financial instruments. These instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, commodity, index, market, and/or other assets without owning or taking physical custody of securities, commodities and/or other referenced assets or to manage market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity and/or other risks. Derivative financial instruments may give rise to a form of economic leverage and involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the instrument. Pursuant to Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, among other things, the Funds must either use derivative financial instruments with embedded leverage in a limited manner or comply with an outer limit on fund leverage risk based on value-at-risk. The Funds’ successful use of a derivative financial instrument depends on the investment adviser’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of these instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may limit the amount of appreciation a Fund can realize on an investment and/or may result in lower distributions paid to shareholders. The Funds’ investments in these instruments, if any, are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following discussion relates to the Fund’s absolute performance based on NAV:
Municipal bonds posted slightly positive returns during the six-month period, with the benefit of income offsetting the effect of falling prices. Bond market returns, in general, were dampened by the combination of high inflation and continued interest rate increases by the Fed. Long-term municipal issues underperformed the broader tax-exempt market due to their longer duration (interest rate sensitivity.)

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2023 (continued) | | BlackRock Long-Term Municipal Advantage Trust (BTA) |
Portfolio income was a large contributor to the Trust’s total return at a time of negative price performance. The Trust’s use of U.S. Treasury futures to manage interest rate risk added value in the rising-rate environment. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions.) Positions in short duration bonds, including pre-refunded issues, contributed to results. Holdings in intermediate-maturity debt also outperformed as demand in that part of the yield curve helped support prices.
On the other hand, positions in longer-dated securities (those with maturities of 25 years and above) hurt performance due to their longer duration. Holdings in bonds with coupons below 5%, which were also hurt by their longer duration, further weighed on results. The Trust’s use of leverage, which magnified the impact of falling prices, was an additional negative. At the sector level, allocations to education and healthcare were the most notable detractors.
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.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2023 (continued) | | BlackRock MuniAssets Fund, Inc. (MUA) |
The following discussion relates to the Fund’s absolute performance based on NAV:
Municipal bonds posted slightly positive returns during the six-month period, with the benefit of income offsetting the effect of falling prices. Bond market returns, in general, were dampened by the combination of high inflation and continued interest rate increases by the Fed.
The Fund’s use of U.S. Treasury futures to manage interest rate risk added value in the rising-rate environment. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions.) The Fund’s cash position, while limited, also helped results. Cash now offers some income benefit with the Fed having moved short-term interest rates significantly higher. Holdings in tobacco and pre-refunded bonds generated modest gains in the period, further helping Fund performance.
Higher-quality, short-duration bonds generally performed the best during the period. (Duration is a measure of interest rate sensitivity). On the other hand, holdings in the utilities and education sectors detracted, as did positions in non-rated bonds and those with maturities of 25 years and above. Lower-coupon bonds (those with coupons below 5%) also detracted, largely as a result of their underperformance in the first half of the period.

| | |
Fund Summary as of January 31, 2023 (continued) | | BlackRock Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (MUI) |
Portfolio income was a large contributor to the Fund’s total return at a time of negative price performance. The Fund’s use of U.S. Treasury futures to manage interest rate risk added value in the rising-rate environment. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions.) Positions in short duration bonds, including pre-refunded issues, contributed to performance. (Duration is a measure of interest rate sensitivity.) Holdings in intermediate-maturity debt also outperformed as demand in that part of the yield curve helped support prices.
On the other hand, positions in longer-dated securities (those with maturities of 25 years and above) hurt performance due to their longer duration. Holdings in bonds with coupons below 5%, which were also hurt by their longer duration, further weighed on results. The Fund’s use of leverage, which magnified the impact of falling prices, was an additional negative.

Holdings in higher-quality issues, especially in the state general obligation sector, also helped results. Bonds with short calls and high coupons contributed modestly, as well.

Positions in issues with maturities of 25 years and above detracted due to their longer duration. (Duration is a measure of interest rate sensitivity). Within this category, bonds with low coupons—especially in the housing sector—detracted the most despite their generally higher quality.

The following discussion relates to the Fund’s absolute performance based on NAV:
Municipal bonds posted slightly positive returns during the six-month period, with the benefit of income offsetting the effect of falling prices. Bond market returns, in general, were dampened by the combination of high inflation and continued interest rate increases by the Fed.

| | |
Fund Summary as of January 31, 2023 (continued) | | BlackRock MuniYield Quality Fund, Inc. (MQY) |
Portfolio income was a large contributor to the Fund’s total return at a time of negative price performance. Positions in the 10-year part of the yield curve performed well thanks to the combination of low supply and elevated demand from retail investors. At the sector level, tax-backed and utility issues delivered positive returns. The Fund’s use of U.S. Treasury futures to manage interest rate risk added value in the rising-rate environment, with all of the contribution occurring in the first half of the period. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions.)
The Fund’s holdings in lower-quality bonds detracted from performance, as did its positions in longer-dated securities. Lower-coupon bonds, while recovering in the latter half of the period, also detracted from performance. The majority of this position was held in the housing sector.
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.

(b) | For Fund compliance purposes, the Fund’s sector classifications refer to one or more of the sector sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by the investment adviser. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. | |
(c) | Scheduled maturity dates and/or bonds that are subject to potential calls by issuers over the next five years. | |
(d) | For financial reporting purposes, credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either S&P Global Ratings or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. if ratings differ. These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change. | |
(e) | The investment adviser evaluates the credit quality of unrated investments based upon certain factors including, but not limited to, credit ratings for similar investments and financial analysis of sectors and individual investments. Using this approach, the investment adviser has deemed certain of these unrated securities as investment grade quality. As of January 31, 2023, the market value of unrated securities deemed by the investment adviser to be investment grade represents 1.6% of the Fund’s total investments. | |

The Boards of Directors and Board of Trustees of the Funds are collectively referred to throughout this report as the “Board,” and the directors/trustees thereof are collectively referred to throughout this report as “Directors.” The Funds determine and make available for publication the net asset values (“NAVs”) of their Common Shares on a daily basis.
The Funds, together with certain other registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, are included in a complex of funds referred to as the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex.
Prior Year Reorganization: The Board and shareholders of MUI (the “Acquiring Fund”) and the Board and shareholders of BlackRock MuniHoldings Investment Quality Fund (“MFL”), (the “Target Fund”) approved the reorganization of the Target Fund into the Acquiring Fund. As a result, the Acquiring Fund acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of the Target Fund in exchange for an equal aggregate value of newly-issued Common Shares and Preferred Shares of the Acquiring Fund.
Each Common Shareholder of the Target Fund received Common Shares of the Acquiring Fund in an amount equal to the aggregate NAV of such Common Shareholder’s Target Fund Common Shares, as determined at the close of business on April 8, 2022, less the costs of the Target Fund’s reorganization. Cash was distributed for any fractional shares.
Each Preferred Shareholder of the Target Fund received Preferred Shares of the Acquiring Fund in an amount equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the Target Fund’s Preferred Shares held by such Preferred Shareholder prior to the Target Fund’s reorganization.
The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of Common Shares and Preferred Shares of the Acquiring Fund in the following amounts and at the following conversion ratios:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Target Fund | | Target Fund’s Share Class | | Shares Prior to Reorganization | | Conversion Ratio | | MUI’s Share Class | | Shares of MUI |
MFL | | Common | | 37,896,208 | | 0.93874076 | | Common | | 35,574,705(a) |
MFL | | VRDP | | 2,746 | | 1 | | VRDP | | 2,746 |
| (a) | Net of fractional shares redeemed. | |
The Target Fund’s net assets and composition of net assets on April 8, 2022, the valuation date of the reorganization were as follows:
| | |
| | MFL |
Net assets applicable to Common Shareholders | | $497,273,284 |
Paid-in-capital | | 513,150,872 |
Accumulated loss | | (15,877,588) |
For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Fund were recorded at fair value. However, the cost basis of the investments received from the Target Funds was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
The net assets applicable to Common Shareholders of the Acquiring Fund before the reorganization was $535,317,061. The aggregate net assets applicable to Common Shareholders of the Acquiring Fund immediately after the reorganization amounted to $1,032,590,345. The Target Fund’s fair value and cost of financial instruments prior to the reorganization was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Target Fund | | Fair Value of Investments | | Cost of Investments | | TOB Trust Certificates | | Preferred Shares Value |
MFL | | $846,552,183 | | $858,217,170 | | $88,413,120 | | $274,600,000 |
The purpose of these transactions was to combine two funds managed by the Manager with similar investment objectives, investment policies, strategies, risks and restrictions. The reorganization was a tax-free event and was effective on April 11, 2022.

Assuming the reorganization had been completed on May 1, 2021, the beginning of the fiscal reporting period of the Acquiring Fund, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended April 30, 2022, are as follows:
• | | Net investment income (loss): $42,471,276 |
• | | Net realized and change in unrealized gain/loss on investments: $(198,977,307) |
• | | Net decrease in net assets resulting from operations: $(156,506,031) |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Target Fund that have been included in the Acquiring Fund’s Statements of Operations since April 11, 2022.
Reorganization costs incurred by MUI in connection with the reorganization were expensed by MUI. The Manager reimbursed MUI $42,542, which is included in fees waived and/or reimbursed by the Manager in the Statements of Operations.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. Below is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are executed. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend dates at fair value. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized daily on an accrual basis.
Collateralization: If required by an exchange or counterparty agreement, the Funds may be required to deliver/deposit cash and/or securities to/with an exchange, or broker-dealer or custodian as collateral for certain investments.
Distributions: Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend dates and made at least annually. The character and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Distributions to Preferred Shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note 10.
Deferred Compensation Plan: Under the Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) approved by each Board, the directors who are not “interested persons” of the Funds, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Directors”), may defer a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of certain funds in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex selected by the Independent Directors. This has the same economic effect for the Independent Directors as if the Independent Directors had invested the deferred amounts directly in certain funds in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex.
The Plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of each Fund, as applicable. Deferred compensation liabilities, if any, are included in the Directors’ and Officer’s fees payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and will remain as a liability of the Funds until such amounts are distributed in accordance with the Plan. Net appreciation (depreciation) in the value of participants’ deferral accounts is allocated among the participating funds in the BlackRock Fixed-Income Complex and reflected as Directors and Officer expense on the Statements of Operations. The Directors and Officer expense may be negative as a result of a decrease in value of the deferred accounts.
Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, a Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown because it involves future potential claims against a Fund, which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
Other: Expenses directly related to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Other operating expenses shared by several funds, including other funds managed by the Manager, are prorated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.
3. | INVESTMENT VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Investment Valuation Policies: Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value (also referred to as “market value” within the financial statements) each day that the Fund is open for business and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Board has approved the designation of each Fund’s Manager as the valuation designee for each Fund. Each Fund determines the fair values of its financial instruments using various independent dealers or pricing services under the Manager’s policies. If a security’s market price is not readily available or does not otherwise accurately represent the fair value of the security, the security will be valued in accordance with the Manager’s policies and procedures as reflecting fair value. The Manager has formed a committee (the “Valuation Committee”) to develop pricing policies and procedures and to oversee the pricing function for all financial instruments, with assistance from other BlackRock pricing committees.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Fair Value Inputs and Methodologies: The following methods and inputs are used to establish the fair value of each Fund’s assets and liabilities:
| • | | Fixed-income investments for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued using the last available bid price or current market quotations provided by independent dealers or third-party pricing services. Pricing services generally value fixed-income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. The pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data (e.g., recent representative bids and offers), market data, credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information. Certain fixed-income securities, including asset-backed and mortgage related securities may be valued based on valuation models that consider the estimated cash flows of each tranche of the entity, establish a benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. The amortized cost method of valuation may be used with respect to debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining to maturity unless the Manager determines such method does not represent fair value. |
| • | | Investments in open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s published NAV. |
| • | | Futures contracts are valued based on that day’s last reported settlement or trade price on the exchange where the contract is traded. |
If events (e.g., market volatility, company announcement or a natural disaster) occur that are expected to materially affect the value of such investment, or in the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment that is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Valuation Committee in accordance with the Manager’s policies and procedures as reflecting fair value (“Fair Valued Investments”). The fair valuation approaches that may be used by the Valuation Committee include market approach, income approach and cost approach. Valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow, use of market comparables and matrix pricing are types of valuation approaches and are typically used in determining fair value. When determining the price for Fair Valued Investments, the Valuation Committee seeks to determine the price that each Fund might reasonably expect to receive or pay from the current sale or purchase of that asset or liability in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the Valuation Committee deems relevant and consistent with the principles of fair value measurement.
For investments in equity or debt issued by privately held companies or funds (“Private Company” or collectively, the “Private Companies”) and other Fair Valued Investments, the fair valuation approaches that are used by the Valuation Committee and third-party pricing services utilized by the Valuation Committee include one or a combination of, but not limited to, the following inputs.
| | | | |
| | Standard Inputs Generally Considered By The Valuation Committee And Third-Party Pricing Services |
Market approach | | (i) | | recent market transactions, including subsequent rounds of financing, in the underlying investment or comparable issuers; |
| | (ii) | | recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure; and |
| | (iii) | | market multiples of comparable issuers. |
Income approach | | (i) | | future cash flows discounted to present and adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, and/or market risks; |
| | (ii) | | quoted prices for similar investments or assets in active markets; and |
| | (iii) | | other risk factors, such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, recovery rates, liquidation amounts and/or default rates. |
Cost approach | | (i) | | audited or unaudited financial statements, investor communications and financial or operational metrics issued by the Private Company; |
| | (ii) | | changes in the valuation of relevant indices or publicly traded companies comparable to the Private Company; |
| | (iii) | | relevant news and other public sources; and |
| | (iv) | | known secondary market transactions in the Private Company’s interests and merger or acquisition activity in companies comparable to the Private Company. |
Investments in series of preferred stock issued by Private Companies are typically valued utilizing market approach in determining the enterprise value of the company. Such investments often contain rights and preferences that differ from other series of preferred and common stock of the same issuer. Enterprise valuation techniques such as an option pricing model (“OPM”), a probability weighted expected return model (“PWERM”), current value method or a hybrid of those techniques are used as deemed appropriate under the circumstances. The use of these valuation techniques involve a determination of the exit scenarios of the investment in order to appropriately allocate the enterprise value of the company among the various parts of its capital structure.
The Private Companies are not subject to the public company disclosure, timing, and reporting standards applicable to other investments held by a Fund. Typically, the most recently available information by a Private Company is as of a date that is earlier than the date a Fund is calculating its NAV. This factor may result in a difference between the value of the investment and the price a Fund could receive upon the sale of the investment.
Fair Value Hierarchy: Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:
| • | | Level 1 – Unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that each Fund has the ability to access; |
| • | | Level 2 – Other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market–corroborated inputs); and |
| • | | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of financial instruments). |
| | |
88 | | 2 0 2 3 BLACK ROCK SEMI - ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs used by the Valuation Committee in determining the price for Fair Valued Investments. Level 3 investments include equity or debt issued by Private Companies that may not have a secondary market and/or may have a limited number of investors. The categorization of a value determined for financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the financial instruments and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
4. | SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS |
Zero-Coupon Bonds: Zero-coupon bonds are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not provide for periodic interest payments. These bonds may experience greater volatility in market value than other debt obligations of similar maturity which provide for regular interest payments.
Forward Commitments, When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities: The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment is made. The Funds may purchase securities under such conditions with the intention of actually acquiring them but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may fluctuate prior to settlement, the Funds may be required to pay more at settlement than the security is worth. In addition, a fund is not entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Funds’ maximum amount of loss is the unrealized appreciation of unsettled when-issued transactions.
Municipal Bonds Transferred to TOB Trusts: Certain Funds leverage their assets through the use of “TOB Trust” transactions. The funds transfer municipal bonds into a special purpose trust (a “TOB Trust”). A TOB Trust issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests (“TOB Trust Certificates”), which are sold to third-party investors, and residual inverse floating rate interests (“TOB Residuals”), which are issued to the participating funds that contributed the municipal bonds to the TOB Trust. The TOB Trust Certificates have interest rates that reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender such certificates to the TOB Trust for redemption at par and any accrued interest at each reset date. The TOB Residuals held by a fund provide the fund with the right to cause the holders of a proportional share of the TOB Trust Certificates to tender their certificates to the TOB Trust at par plus accrued interest. The funds may withdraw a corresponding share of the municipal bonds from the TOB Trust. Other funds managed by the investment adviser may also contribute municipal bonds to a TOB Trust into which a fund has contributed bonds. If multiple BlackRock-advised funds participate in the same TOB Trust, the economic rights and obligations under the TOB Residuals will be shared among the funds ratably in proportion to their participation in the TOB Trust.
TOB Trusts are supported by a liquidity facility provided by a third-party bank or other financial institution (the “Liquidity Provider”) that allows the holders of the TOB Trust Certificates to tender their certificates in exchange for payment of par plus accrued interest on any business day. The tendered TOB Trust Certificates are remarketed by a Remarketing Agent. In the event of a failed remarketing, the TOB Trust may draw upon a loan from the Liquidity Provider to purchase the tendered TOB Trust Certificates. Any loans made by the Liquidity Provider will be secured by the purchased TOB Trust Certificates held by the TOB Trust and will be subject to an increased interest rate based on number of days the loan is outstanding.
The TOB Trust may be collapsed without the consent of a fund, upon the occurrence of a termination event as defined in the TOB Trust agreement. Upon the occurrence of a termination event, a TOB Trust would be liquidated with the proceeds applied first to any accrued fees owed to the trustee of the TOB Trust, the Remarketing Agent and the Liquidity Provider. Upon certain termination events, TOB Trust Certificates holders will be paid before the TOB Residuals holders (i.e., the Funds) whereas in other termination events, TOB Trust Certificates holders and TOB Residuals holders will be paid pro rata.
While a fund’s investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in inverse floating rate securities, such as TOB Residuals, they restrict the ability of a fund to borrow money for purposes of making investments. MUA, MYD and MQY management believes that a fund’s restrictions on borrowings do not apply to the Funds’ TOB Trust transactions.Each Fund’s transfer of the municipal bonds to a TOB Trust is considered a secured borrowing for financial reporting purposes. The cash received by the TOB Trust from the sale of the TOB Trust Certificates, less certain transaction expenses, is paid to a Fund. A Fund typically invests the cash received in additional municipal bonds.
Accounting for TOB Trusts: The municipal bonds deposited into a TOB Trust are presented in a Fund’s Schedule of Investments and the TOB Trust Certificates are shown in Other Liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Any loans drawn by the TOB Trust pursuant to the liquidity facility to purchase tendered TOB Trust Certificates are shown as Loan for TOB Trust Certificates. The carrying amount of a Fund’s payable to the holder of the TOB Trust Certificates, as reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as TOB Trust Certificates, approximates its fair value.
Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts, from the underlying municipal bonds is recorded by a Fund on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the TOB Trust transaction and other expenses related to remarketing, administration, trustee, liquidity and other services to a TOB Trust are shown as interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations. Fees paid upon creation of the TOB Trust are recorded as debt issuance costs and are amortized to interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations to the expected maturity of the TOB Trust. In connection with the restructurings of the TOB Trusts to non-bank sponsored TOB Trusts, a Fund incurred non-recurring, legal and restructuring fees, which are recorded as interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations. Amounts recorded within interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations are:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund Name | | Interest Expense | | Liquidity Fees | | Other Expenses | | Total |
BTA | | $ 210,511 | | $ 41,515 | | $ 18,538 | | $ 270,564 |
MUA | | 369,757 | | 71,957 | | 23,091 | | 464,805 |

MYD | | 878,549 | | 168,707 | | 56,758 | | 1,104,014 |
MQY | | 1,644,885 | | 312,666 | | 102,264 | | 2,059,815 |
For the six months ended January 31, 2023, the following table is a summary of each Fund’s TOB Trusts:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund Name | |
| Underlying Municipal Bonds Transferred to TOB Trusts | (a) | |
| Liability for TOB Trust Certificates | (b) | | Range of Interest Rates on TOB Trust Certificates at Period End | |
| Average TOB Trust Certificates Outstanding | | |
| Daily Weighted
Average Rate of Interest and Other Expenses on TOB Trusts |
|
BTA | | $ | 24,471,817 | | | $ | 12,516,504 | | | 1.69% — 1.96% | | $ | 19,904,559 | | | | 2.70% | |
MUA | | | 39,725,368 | | | | 24,489,313 | | | 1.67 — 1.81 | | | 33,503,019 | | | | 2.75 | |
MUI | | | 159,381,791 | | | | 87,180,947 | | | 1.69 — 1.96 | | | 119,558,930 | | | | 2.62 | |
MYD | | | 100,264,074 | | | | 60,534,975 | | | 1.67 — 1.81 | | | 80,064,361 | | | | 2.73 | |
MQY | | | 184,183,042 | | | | 99,568,749 | | | 1.69 — 1.96 | | | 151,152,869 | | | | 2.70 | |
| (a) | The municipal bonds transferred to a TOB Trust are generally high grade municipal bonds. In certain cases, when municipal bonds transferred are lower grade municipal bonds, the TOB Trust transaction may include a credit enhancement feature that provides for the timely payment of principal and interest on the bonds to the TOB Trust by a credit enhancement provider in the event of default of the municipal bond. The TOB Trust would be responsible for the payment of the credit enhancement fee and the Funds, as TOB Residuals holders, would be responsible for reimbursement of any payments of principal and interest made by the credit enhancement provider. The maximum potential amounts owed by the Funds, for such reimbursements, as applicable, are included in the maximum potential amounts disclosed for recourse TOB Trusts in the Schedules of Investments. | |
| (b) | TOB Trusts may be structured on a non-recourse or recourse basis. When a Fund invests in TOB Trusts on a non-recourse basis, the Liquidity Provider may be required to make a payment under the liquidity facility to allow the TOB Trust to repurchase TOB Trust Certificates. The Liquidity Provider will be reimbursed from the liquidation of bonds held in the TOB Trust. If a Fund invests in a TOB Trust on a recourse basis, a Fund enters into a reimbursement agreement with the Liquidity Provider where a Fund is required to reimburse the Liquidity Provider for any shortfall between the amount paid by the Liquidity Provider and proceeds received from liquidation of municipal bonds held in the TOB Trust (the “Liquidation Shortfall”). As a result, if a Fund invests in a recourse TOB Trust, a Fund will bear the risk of loss with respect to any Liquidation Shortfall. If multiple funds participate in any such TOB Trust, these losses will be shared ratably, including the maximum potential amounts owed by a Fund at January 31, 2023, in proportion to their participation in the TOB Trust. The recourse TOB Trusts are identified in the Schedules of Investments including the maximum potential amounts owed by a Fund at January 31, 2023. | |
For the six months ended January 31, 2023, the following table is a summary of each Fund’s Loan for TOB Trust Certificates:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund Name | | Loans Outstanding at Period End | | Range of Interest Rates on Loans at Period End | | Average Loans Outstanding | | Daily Weighted Average Rate of Interest and Other Expenses on Loans |
MQY | | $ 3,700,960 | | 0.25 — 0.25% | | $ 245,870 | | 0.70% |
5. | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The Funds engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Funds and/or to manage their exposure to certain risks such as credit risk, equity risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or other risks (e.g., inflation risk). Derivative financial instruments categorized by risk exposure are included in the Schedules of Investments. These contracts may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (“OTC”).
Futures Contracts: Futures contracts are purchased or sold to gain exposure to, or manage exposure to, changes in interest rates (interest rate risk) and changes in the value of equity securities (equity risk) or foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk).
Futures contracts are exchange-traded agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific quantity of an underlying instrument at a specified price and on a specified date. Depending on the terms of a contract, it is settled either through physical delivery of the underlying instrument on the settlement date or by payment of a cash amount on the settlement date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on a contract’s size and risk profile. The initial margin deposit must then be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Amounts pledged, which are considered restricted, are included in cash pledged for futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited, if any, are shown as cash pledged for futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Pursuant to the contract, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in market value of the contract (“variation margin”). Variation margin is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable (or payable) on futures contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statements of Operations equal to the difference between the notional amount of the contract at the time it was opened and the notional amount at the time it was closed. The use of futures contracts involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts and interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or underlying assets.
6. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES |
Investment Advisory: Each Fund entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Manager, the Funds’ investment adviser and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”), to provide investment advisory and administrative services. The Manager is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio and provides the personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Fund.
| | |
90 | | 2 0 2 3 BLACK ROCK SEMI - ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
For such services, each Fund, except MUI and BTA, pays the Manager a monthly fee at an annual rate equal to the following percentages of the average daily value of each Fund’s net assets:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | MUA | | | MYD | | | MQY | |
Investment advisory fees | | | 0.55 | % | | | 0.50 | % | | | 0.50 | % |
For such services, BTA pays the Manager a monthly fee of 1.00% at an annual rate equal to a percentage of the average weekly value of the Fund’s net assets.
For such services, MUI pays the Manager a monthly fee of 0.55% of (i) the average daily value of MUI’s net assets and (ii) the proceeds of any outstanding debt securities and borrowings used for leverage.
For purposes of calculating these fees, with respect to each Fund other than BTA, “net assets” mean the total assets of the Fund minus the sum of its accrued liabilities (which does not include liabilities represented by TOB Trusts and the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred shares). It is understood that the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock (other than accumulated dividends) and TOB Trusts is not considered a liability in determining a Fund’s NAV.
For purposes of calculating this fee, with respect to BTA, “net assets” mean the total assets of the Fund minus the sum of its accrued liabilities (which includes liabilities represented by TOB Trusts and the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred shares).
Distribution Fees: MUA has entered into a Distribution Agreement with BlackRock Investments, LLC (“BRIL”), an affiliate of the Manager, to provide for distribution of MUA common shares on a reasonable best efforts basis through an equity shelf offering (a “Shelf Offering”) (the “Distribution Agreement”). Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, BRIL will receive commissions with respect to sales of common shares at a commission rate of 1.00% of the gross proceeds of the sale of MUA’s common shares and a portion of such commission is re-allowed to broker-dealers engaged by BRIL. The commissions retained by BRIL during the period ended January 31, 2023 amounted to $5,284.
Expense Waivers and Reimbursements: With respect to each Fund, the Manager contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees each Fund pays to the Manager indirectly through its investment in affiliated money market funds (the “affiliated money market fund waiver”) through June 30, 2024. The contractual agreement may be terminated upon 90 days’ notice by a majority of the Independent Directors, or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund. These amounts are included in fees waived and/or reimbursed by the Manager in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2023, the amounts waived were as follows:
| | |
Fund Name | | Fees Waived and/or Reimbursed by the Manager |
BTA | | $ 1,714 |
MUA | | 8,163 |
MUI | | 3,593 |
MYD | | 6,594 |
MQY | | 5,661 |
The Manager has contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee with respect to any portion of each Fund’s assets invested in affiliated equity and fixed-income mutual funds and affiliated exchange-traded funds that have a contractual management fee through June 30, 2024. The agreement can be renewed for annual periods thereafter, and may be terminated on 90 days’ notice, each subject to approval by a majority of the Funds’ Independent Directors. For the six months ended January 31, 2023, there were no fees waived by the Manager pursuant to this arrangement.
Directors and Officers: Certain directors and/or officers of the Funds are directors and/or officers of BlackRock or its affiliates. The Funds reimburse the Manager for a portion of the compensation paid to the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer, which is included in Directors and Officer in the Statements of Operations.
For the six months ended January 31, 2023, purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, were as follows:
| | | | |
Fund Name | | Purchases | | Sales |
BTA | | $ 36,940,862 | | $ 56,116,740 |
MUA | | 68,816,179 | | 79,269,167 |
MUI | | 520,857,796 | | 610,899,532 |
MYD | | 204,937,501 | | 247,862,962 |
MQY | | 306,739,588 | | 414,347,125 |
It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no U.S. federal income tax provision is required.
Each Fund files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on each Fund’s U.S. federal tax returns generally remains open for a period of three years after they are filed. The statutes of limitations on each Fund’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds as of January 31, 2023, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Funds’ financial statements.
As of July 31, 2022, the Funds had non-expiring capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains as follows:
| | |
Fund Name | | Non-Expiring |
BTA | | $ 4,492,973 |
MUA | | 3,646,950 |
MUI | | 33,957,408 |
MYD | | 12,564,077 |
MQY | | 36,591,325 |
As of January 31, 2023, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on cost of investments (including short positions and derivatives, if any) for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund Name | | Tax Cost | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
BTA | | $ 224,755,354 | | $ 5,095,179 | | $ (11,385,974) | | $ (6,290,795) |
MUA | | 669,352,353 | | 12,953,181 | | (60,784,497) | | (47,831,316) |
MUI | | 1,541,361,897 | | 42,712,026 | | (30,659,364) | | 12,052,662 |
MYD | | 837,876,357 | | 26,253,020 | | (31,155,583) | | (4,902,563) |
MQY | | 1,434,864,015 | | 51,058,551 | | (44,449,474) | | 6,609,077 |
In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject each Fund to various risks, including among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability; (iii) regulation, taxation or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate and price fluctuations. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Funds and their investments.
The Funds may hold a significant amount of bonds subject to calls by the issuers at defined dates and prices. When bonds are called by issuers and the Funds reinvest the proceeds received, such investments may be in securities with lower yields than the bonds originally held, and correspondingly, could adversely impact the yield and total return performance of a Fund.
A Fund structures and “sponsors” the TOB Trusts in which it holds TOB Residuals and has certain duties and responsibilities, which may give rise to certain additional risks including, but not limited to, compliance, securities law and operational risks.
As short-term interest rates rise, the Funds’ investments in the TOB Trusts may adversely affect the Funds’ net investment income and dividends to Common Shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB Trust may adversely affect the Funds’ NAVs per share.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and various federal banking and housing agencies have adopted credit risk retention rules for securitizations (the “Risk Retention Rules”). The Risk Retention Rules would require the sponsor of a TOB Trust to retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the underlying assets supporting the TOB Trust’s municipal bonds. The Risk Retention Rules may adversely affect the Funds’ ability to engage in TOB Trust transactions or increase the costs of such transactions in certain circumstances.
TOB Trusts constitute an important component of the municipal bond market. Any modifications or changes to rules governing TOB Trusts may adversely impact the municipal market and the Funds, including through reduced demand for and liquidity of municipal bonds and increased financing costs for municipal issuers. The ultimate impact of any potential modifications on the TOB Trust market and the overall municipal market is not yet certain.
Each Fund may invest without limitation in illiquid or less liquid investments or investments in which no secondary market is readily available or which are otherwise illiquid, including private placement securities. A Fund may not be able to readily dispose of such investments at prices that approximate those at which a Fund could sell such investments if they were more widely traded and, as a result of such illiquidity, a Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions if necessary to raise funds to meet its obligations. Limited liquidity can also affect the market price of investments, thereby adversely affecting a Fund’s NAV and ability to make dividend distributions. Privately issued debt securities are often of below investment grade quality, frequently are unrated and present many of the same risks as investing in below investment grade public debt securities.
Market Risk: Each Fund may be exposed to prepayment risk, which is the risk that borrowers may exercise their option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled during periods of declining interest rates, which would force each Fund to reinvest in lower yielding securities. Each Fund may also be exposed to reinvestment risk, which is the risk that income from each Fund’s portfolio will decline if each Fund invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called fixed-income securities at market interest rates that are below each Fund portfolio’s current earnings rate.
Municipal securities are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer’s ability to make payments of principal and/or interest or otherwise affect the value of such securities. Municipal securities can be significantly affected by political or economic changes, including changes made in the law after issuance of the securities, as well as uncertainties in the
| | |

| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued) | | |
municipal market related to, taxation, legislative changes or the rights of municipal security holders, including in connection with an issuer insolvency. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the tax benefits supporting the project or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. Municipal securities may be less liquid than taxable bonds, and there may be less publicly available information on the financial condition of municipal security issuers than for issuers of other securities.
Infectious Illness Risk: An outbreak of an infectious illness, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, may adversely impact the economies of many nations and the global economy, and may impact individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot be foreseen. An infectious illness outbreak may result in, among other things, closed international borders, prolonged quarantines, supply chain disruptions, market volatility or disruptions and other significant economic, social and political impacts.
Valuation Risk: The price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any particular portfolio investment may differ from a Fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair valuation technique or a price provided by an independent pricing service. Changes to significant unobservable inputs and assumptions (i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit) due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore a Fund’s results of operations. As a result, the price received upon the sale of an investment may be less than the value ascribed by a Fund, and a Fund could realize a greater than expected loss or lesser than expected gain upon the sale of the investment. A Fund’s ability to value its investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third-party service providers.
Counterparty Credit Risk: The Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments related to unsettled or open transactions, including making timely interest and/or principal payments or otherwise honoring its obligations. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that the Manager believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is approximately their value recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Funds.
A derivative contract may suffer a mark-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
With exchange-traded futures, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Funds since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, a Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency). Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded futures with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Funds.
Concentration Risk: A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within each Fund’s portfolio are disclosed in its Schedule of Investments.
Certain Funds invest a substantial amount of their assets in issuers located in a single state or limited number of states. When a fund concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, regulatory, political or social conditions affecting that state or group of states could have a significant impact on the fund and could affect the income from, or the value or liquidity of, the fund’s portfolio. Investment percentages in specific states or U.S. territories are presented in the Schedules of Investments.
Certain Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in securities within a single or limited number of market sectors. When a fund concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, regulatory, political and social conditions affecting such sectors may have a significant impact on the Fund and could affect the income from, or the value or liquidity of, the Fund’s portfolio. Investment percentages in specific sectors are presented in the Schedules of Investments.
Certain Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in high yield securities. High yield securities that are rated below investment-grade (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) or are unrated may be deemed speculative, involve greater levels of risk than higher-rated securities of similar maturity and are more likely to default. High yield securities may be issued by less creditworthy issuers, and issuers of high yield securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations. High yield securities are subject to extreme price fluctuations, may be less liquid than higher rated fixed-income securities, even under normal economic conditions, and frequently have redemption features.
The Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in fixed-income securities and/or use derivatives tied to the fixed-income markets. Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of such investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. The Funds may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the recent period of historically low interest rates. The Federal Reserve has recently begun to raise the federal funds rate as part of its efforts to address inflation. There is a risk that interest rates will continue to rise, which will likely drive down the prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities, and could negatively impact the Funds’ performance.
LIBOR Transition Risk: The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a phase out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Although many LIBOR rates ceased to be published or no longer are representative of the underlying market they seek to measure after December 31, 2021, a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates will continue to be published through June 2023 in order to assist with the transition. The Funds may be exposed to financial instruments tied to LIBOR to determine payment obligations, financing terms, hedging strategies or investment value. The transition process away from LIBOR might lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for, and reduce the effectiveness of new hedges placed against instruments whose terms currently include LIBOR. The ultimate effect of the LIBOR transition process on the Funds is uncertain.

10. | CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS |
Each Fund, except for BTA, is authorized to issue 200 million shares, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. BTA is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, all of which were initially classified as Common Shares. The par value of each Fund’s Common Shares is $0.10, except for BTA, which is $0.001. Each Board is authorized, however, to reclassify any unissued Common Shares to Preferred Shares without the approval of Common Shareholders.
Common Shares
For the periods shown, shares issued and outstanding increased by the following amounts as a result of dividend reinvestment:
| | | | | | |
Fund Name | | Six Months Ended 01/31/23 | | Period from 05/01/22 to 07/31/22 | | Year Ended 04/30/22 |
BTA | | 2,033 | | 1,294 | | 9,324 |
MUA | | 13,454 | | 6,820 | | 68,542 |
MQY | | — | | — | | 70,961 |
For the period ended July 31, 2022, shares issued and outstanding remained constant for MUI.
For the period ended July 31, 2022 and year ended April 30, 2022, shares issued and outstanding remained constant for MYD.
For the year ended April 30, 2022, Common Shares of MUI issued and outstanding increased by 35,574,715 as a result of the reorganization of MFL with and into MUI.
For the year ended April 30, 2022, Common Shares of MUI issued and outstanding decreased by 10 as a result of a redemption of fractional shares from the reorganization of MFL with and into MUI.
The Funds participate in an open market share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”). From December 1, 2021 through November 30, 2022, each Fund may repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding common shares under the Repurchase Program, based on common shares outstanding as of the close of business on November 30, 2021, subject to certain conditions. From December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2023, each Fund may repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding common shares under the Repurchase Program, based on common shares outstanding as of the close of business on November 30, 2022, subject to certain conditions. The Repurchase Program has an accretive effect as shares are purchased at a discount to the Fund’s NAV. There is no assurance that the Funds will purchase shares in any particular amounts. For the six months ended January 31, 2023, BTA, MUA and MQY did not repurchase any shares. For the period ended July 31, 2022 and year ended April 30, 2022, the Funds did not repurchase any shares.
The total cost of the shares repurchased is reflected in Funds’ Statements of Changes in Net Assets. For the periods shown, shares repurchased and cost, including transaction costs were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | MUI | |
| | Shares | | | Amounts | |
Six Months Ended January 31, 2023 | | | 291,912 | | | $ | 3,480,795 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | MYD | |
| | Shares | | | Amounts | |
Six Months Ended January 31, 2023 | | | 79,144 | | | $ | 870,440 | |
MUA has filed a prospectus with the SEC allowing it to issue an additional 5,500,000 Common Shares through an equity shelf program (a “Shelf Offering”). Under the Shelf Offering, MUA, subject to market conditions, may raise additional equity capital from time to time in varying amounts and utilizing various offering methods at a net price at or above the Fund’s NAV per Common Share (calculated within 48 hours of pricing). As of period end, 4,767,963 Common Shares remain available for issuance under the Shelf Offering. During the period ended January 31, 2023, MUA issued 209,413 shares under the Shelf Offering. See Additional Information - Shelf Offering Program for additional information.
Initial costs incurred by MUA in connection with its Shelf Offerings are recorded as “Deferred offering costs” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As shares are sold, a portion of the costs attributable to the shares sold will be charged against paid-in-capital. Any remaining deferred charges at the end of the Shelf Offering period will be charged to expense.
Preferred Shares
A Fund’s Preferred Shares rank prior to its Common Shares as to the payment of dividends by the Fund and distribution of assets upon dissolution or liquidation of the Fund. The 1940 Act prohibits the declaration of any dividend on Common Shares or the repurchase of Common Shares if the Fund fails to maintain asset coverage of at least 200% of the liquidation preference of the Fund’s outstanding Preferred Shares. In addition, pursuant to the Preferred Shares’ governing instruments, a Fund is restricted from declaring and paying dividends on classes of shares ranking junior to or on parity with its Preferred Shares or repurchasing such shares if the Fund fails to declare and pay dividends on the Preferred Shares, redeem any Preferred Shares required to be redeemed under the Preferred Shares’ governing instruments or comply with the basic maintenance amount requirement of the ratings agencies rating the Preferred Shares.
Holders of Preferred Shares have voting rights equal to the voting rights of holders of Common Shares (one vote per share) and vote together with holders of Common Shares (one vote per share) as a single class on certain matters. Holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, are also entitled to (i) elect two members of the Board,
| | |
94 | | 2 0 2 3 BLACK ROCK SEMI - ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
(ii) elect the full Board if dividends on the Preferred Shares are not paid for a period of two years and (iii) a separate class vote to amend the Preferred Share governing documents. In addition, the 1940 Act requires the approval of the holders of a majority of any outstanding Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class, to (a) adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely affect the Preferred Shares, (b) change a Fund’s sub-classification as a closed-end investment company or change its fundamental investment restrictions or (c) change its business so as to cease to be an investment company.
VRDP Shares
The Funds (for purposes of this section, each a “VRDP Fund”) have issued Series W-7 VRDP Shares, $100,000 liquidation preference per share, in one or more privately negotiated offerings to qualified institutional buyers as defined pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The VRDP Shares include a liquidity feature and may be subject to a special rate period. As of period end, the VRDP Shares outstanding were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund Name | | Issue Date | | | Shares Issued | | | Aggregate Principal | | | Maturity Date | |
BTA | | | 10/29/15 | | | | 760 | | | $ | 76,000,000 | | | | 11/01/45 | |
MUA | | | 12/15/21 | | | | 1,750 | | | | 175,000,000 | | | | 12/15/51 | |
MUI | | | 04/07/22 | | | | 2,871 | | | | 287,100,000 | | | | 04/07/52 | |
| | | 04/11/22 | | | | 2,746 | | | | 274,600,000 | | | | 04/07/52 | |
MYD | | | 06/30/11 | | | | 2,514 | | | | 251,400,000 | | | | 07/01/41 | |
MQY | | | 09/15/11 | | | | 1,766 | | | | 176,600,000 | | | | 10/01/41 | |
| | | 04/19/21 | | | | 2,737 | | | | 273,700,000 | | | | 10/01/41 | |
Redemption Terms: A VRDP Fund is required to redeem its VRDP Shares on the maturity date, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. Six months prior to the maturity date, a VRDP Fund is required to begin to segregate liquid assets with the Fund’s custodian to fund the redemption. In addition, a VRDP Fund is required to redeem certain of its outstanding VRDP Shares if it fails to comply with certain asset coverage, basic maintenance amount or leverage requirements.
Subject to certain conditions, the VRDP Shares may also be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at the option of a VRDP Fund. The redemption price per VRDP Share is equal to the liquidation preference per share plus any outstanding unpaid dividends.
Liquidity Feature: VRDP Shares are subject to a fee agreement between the VRDP Fund and the liquidity provider that requires a per annum liquidity fee and, in some cases, an upfront or initial commitment fee, payable to the liquidity provider. These fees, if applicable, are shown as liquidity fees in the Statements of Operations. As of period end, the fee agreement is set to expire, unless renewed or terminated in advance, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | BTA | | | MUA | | | MUI | | | MYD | | | MQY | |
Expiration date | | | 11/30/24 | | | | 04/30/24 | | | | 11/30/24 | | | | 11/30/24 | | | | 07/06/23 | |
The VRDP Shares are also subject to a purchase agreement in connection with the liquidity feature. In the event a purchase agreement is not renewed or is terminated in advance, and the VRDP Shares do not become subject to a purchase agreement with an alternate liquidity provider, the VRDP Shares will be subject to mandatory purchase by the liquidity provider prior to the termination of the purchase agreement. In the event of such mandatory purchase, a VRDP Fund is required to redeem the VRDP Shares six months after the purchase date. Immediately after such mandatory purchase, the VRDP Fund is required to begin to segregate liquid assets with its custodian to fund the redemption. There is no assurance that a VRDP Fund will replace such redeemed VRDP Shares with any other preferred shares or other form of leverage.
Remarketing: A VRDP Fund may incur remarketing fees on the aggregate principal amount of all its VRDP Shares, which, if any, are included in remarketing fees on Preferred Shares in the Statements of Operations. During any special rate period (as described below), a VRDP Fund may incur nominal or no remarketing fees.
Ratings: As of period end, the VRDP Shares were assigned the following ratings:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund Name | | Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Long-Term Ratings | | | Fitch Ratings, Inc. Long-Term Ratings | |
BTA | | | Aa2 | | | | A | |
MUA | | | Aa2 | | | | N/A | |
MUI | | | Aa1 | | | | AA | |
MYD | | | Aa1 | | | | AA | |
MQY | | | Aa1 | | | | AA | |
Special Rate Period: A VRDP Fund has commenced a “special rate period” with respect to its VRDP Shares, during which the VRDP Shares will not be subject to any remarketing and the dividend rate will be based on a predetermined methodology. During a special rate period, short-term ratings on VRDP Shares are withdrawn. As of period end, the following VRDP Funds have commenced/are set to commence a special rate period:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund Name | | Commencement Date | | | Expiration Date as of Period Ended 01/31/23 | |
BTA | | | 10/29/15 | | | | 11/15/24 | |
MUA | | | 12/15/21 | | | | 04/15/24 | |
MUI | | | 04/07/22 | | | | 11/15/24 | |
MYD | | | 04/17/14 | | | | 11/15/24 | |
| | |
N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S | | 95 |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
| | | | | | | | |
Fund Name | | Commencement Date | | | Expiration Date as of Period Ended 01/31/23 | |
MQY | | | 10/22/15 | | | | 06/21/23 | |
Prior to the expiration date, the VRDP Fund and the VRDP Shares holder may mutually agree to extend the special rate period. If a special rate period is not extended, the VRDP Shares will revert to remarketable securities upon the termination of the special rate period and will be remarketed and available for purchase by qualified institutional investors.
During the special rate period: (i) the liquidity and fee agreements remain in effect, (ii) VRDP Shares remain subject to mandatory redemption by the VRDP Fund on the maturity date, (iii) VRDP Shares will not be remarketed or subject to optional or mandatory tender events, (iv) the VRDP Fund is required to comply with the same asset coverage, basic maintenance amount and leverage requirements for the VRDP Shares as is required when the VRDP Shares are not in a special rate period, (v) the VRDP Fund will pay dividends monthly based on the sum of an agreed upon reference rate and a percentage per annum based on the long-term ratings assigned to the VRDP Shares and (vi) the VRDP Fund will pay nominal or no fees to the liquidity provider and remarketing agent.
Dividends: Except during the Special Rate Period as described above, dividends on the VRDP Shares are payable monthly at a variable rate set weekly by the remarketing agent. Such dividend rates are generally based upon a spread over a base rate and cannot exceed a maximum rate. A change in the short-term credit rating of the liquidity provider or the VRDP Shares may adversely affect the dividend rate paid on such shares, although the dividend rate paid on the VRDP Shares is not directly based upon either short-term rating. In the event of a failed remarketing, the dividend rate of the VRDP Shares will be reset to a maximum rate. The maximum rate is determined based on, among other things, the long-term preferred share rating assigned to the VRDP Shares and the length of time that the VRDP Shares fail to be remarketed.
For the six months ended January 31, 2023, the annualized dividend rate for the VRDP Shares were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | BTA | | | MUA | | | MUI | | | MYD | | | MQY | |
Dividend rates | | | 3.12 | % | | | 3.51 | % | | | 3.10 | % | | | 3.10 | % | | | 3.00 | % |
For the six months ended January 31, 2023, VRDP Shares issued and outstanding of each VRDP Fund remained constant.
Offering Costs: The Funds incurred costs in connection with the issuance of VRDP Shares, which were recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the related debt liability and will be amortized over the life of the VRDP Shares with the exception of any upfront fees paid by a VRDP Fund to the liquidity provider which, if any, were amortized over the life of the liquidity agreement. Amortization of these costs is included in interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations.
Financial Reporting: The VRDP Shares are considered debt of the issuer; therefore, the liquidation preference, which approximates fair value of the VRDP Shares, is recorded as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities net of deferred offering costs. Unpaid dividends are included in interest expense and fees payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and the dividends accrued and paid on the VRDP Shares are included as a component of interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations. The VRDP Shares are treated as equity for tax purposes. Dividends paid to holders of the VRDP Shares are generally classified as tax-exempt income for tax-reporting purposes. Dividends and amortization of deferred offering costs on VRDP Shares are included in interest expense, fees and amortization of offering costs in the Statements of Operations:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund Name | | Dividends Accrued | | | Deferred Offering Costs Amortization | |
BTA | | $ | 1,187,184 | | | $ | 8,080 | |

Additional Information
Fund Certification
The Funds are listed for trading on the NYSE and have filed with the NYSE their annual chief executive officer certification regarding compliance with the NYSE’s listing standards. The Funds filed with the SEC the certification of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Integration
Although a Fund does not seek to implement a specific sustainability strategy unless otherwise disclosed, Fund management will consider ESG characteristics as part of the investment process for actively managed Funds. These considerations will vary depending on a Fund’s particular investment strategies and may include consideration of third-party research as well as consideration of proprietary BlackRock research across the ESG risks and opportunities regarding an issuer. Fund management will consider such ESG characteristics it deems relevant or additive, if any, when making investment decisions for a Fund. The ESG characteristics utilized in a Fund’s investment process are anticipated to evolve over time and one or more characteristics may not be relevant with respect to all issuers that are eligible for investment. ESG characteristics are not the sole considerations when making investment decisions for a Fund. Further, investors can differ in their views of what constitutes positive or negative ESG characteristics. As a result, a Fund may invest in issuers that do not reflect the beliefs and values with respect to ESG of any particular investor. ESG considerations may affect a Fund’s exposure to certain companies or industries and a Fund may forego certain investment opportunities. While Fund management views ESG considerations as having the potential to contribute to a Fund’s long-term performance, there is no guarantee that such results will be achieved.
Dividend Policy
Each Fund’s dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of its net investment income to its shareholders on a monthly basis. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of distributions, the Funds may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in any particular month and may at times in any particular month pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to net investment income earned in that month. As a result, the distributions paid by the Funds for any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Funds during such month. The Funds’ current accumulated but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed as accumulated earnings (loss) in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which comprises part of the financial information included in this report.
General Information
The Funds, other than MUA, do not make available copies of their Statements of Additional Information because the Funds’ shares are not continuously offered, which means that the Statement of Additional Information of each Fund has not been updated after completion of the respective Fund’s offerings and the information contained in each Fund’s Statement of Additional Information may have become outdated.
MUA’s Statement of Additional Information includes additional information about its Board and is available, without charge upon request by calling (800)-882-0052.
The following information is a summary of certain changes since July 31, 2022. This information may not reflect all of the changes that have occurred since you purchased the relevant Fund.
Except if noted otherwise herein, there were no changes to the Funds’ charters or by-laws that would delay or prevent a change of control of the Funds that were not approved by the shareholders.
Effective August 1, 2022, the State of Delaware enacted new control beneficial interest acquisition provisions of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (the “Delaware CBIA Statute”) that automatically applies to Delaware statutory trusts that are registered as closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, such as BTA. In general, the Delaware CBIA Statute limits the right of holders who acquire “control beneficial interests” of a statutory trust to vote those beneficial interests on matters under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act or the governing instrument of BTA unless approved by disinterested shareholders holding two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast. The Delaware CBIA Statute generally defines “control beneficial interests” to include beneficial interests that, in the absence of the Delaware CBIA Statute, if aggregated with all other beneficial interests of the statutory trust that are either (i) owned by the acquiring person (or an associate) or (ii) in respect of which the acquiring person (or an associate) is entitled to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power, would entitle that person to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power of beneficial interests in the election of trustees, within any of certain specified ranges of voting power starting at 10%. The Delaware CBIA Statute requires acquiring persons to disclose to the statutory trust any control beneficial interest acquisition within 10 days of such acquisition. The Delaware CBIA Statute allows a statutory trust’s governing instrument or board of trustees to provide exemptions from the statute’s limitations to acquisitions of beneficial interests, including as to any series or classes of beneficial interests. After careful consideration of a number of factors including, among other factors, the potential impact to BTA’s use of leverage through preferred shares, the Fund’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of an amendment to the Fund’s Statement of Preferences governing the preferred shares which provides for acquisitions of the Fund’s outstanding preferred shares to be exempt from the limitations of the Delaware CBIA Statute. The foregoing is only a summary of certain aspects of the Delaware CBIA Statute. Shareholders should consult their own legal counsel to determine the application of the Delaware CBIA Statute with respect to their beneficial interests of BTA and any subsequent acquisitions of beneficial interests.
In accordance with Section 23(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, each Fund may from time to time purchase shares of its common stock in the open market or in private transactions.

Electronic Delivery
Shareholders can sign up for e-mail notifications of quarterly statements, annual and semi-annual shareholder reports and, for MUA only, prospectuses, by enrolling in the electronic delivery program. Electronic copies of shareholder reports and, for MUA only, prospectuses, are available on BlackRock’s website.
To enroll in electronic delivery:
Shareholders Who Hold Accounts with Investment Advisers, Banks or Brokerages:
Please contact your financial adviser. Please note that not all investment advisers, banks or brokerages may offer this service.
Householding
The Funds will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including for MUA only, prospectuses, annual and semi-annual reports, Rule 30e-3 notices and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly called “householding” and is intended to reduce expenses and eliminate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please call the Funds at (800) 882-0052.
Availability of Quarterly Schedule of Investments
The Funds file their complete schedules of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to their reports on Form N-PORT. The Funds’ Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC’s website at sec.gov. Additionally, each Fund makes its portfolio holdings for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year available at blackrock.com/fundreports.
Availability of Proxy Voting Policies, Procedures and Voting Records
A description of the policies and procedures that the Funds use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities and information about how the Funds voted proxies relating to securities held in the Funds’ portfolios during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge, upon request (1) by calling (800) 882-0052; (2) on the BlackRock website at blackrock.com; and (3) on the SEC’s website at sec.gov.
Availability of Fund Updates
BlackRock will update performance and certain other data for the Funds on a monthly basis on its website in the “Closed-end Funds” section of blackrock.com as well as certain other material information as necessary from time to time. Investors and others are advised to check the website for updated performance information and the release of other material information about the Funds. This reference to BlackRock’s website is intended to allow investors public access to information regarding the Funds and does not, and is not intended to, incorporate BlackRock’s website in this report.
Shelf Offering Program
From time to time, MUA may seek to raise additional equity capital through a Shelf Offering. In a Shelf Offering, MUA may, subject to market conditions, raise additional equity capital by issuing new Common Shares from time to time in varying amounts at a net price at or above MUA’s net asset value (“NAV”) per Common Share (calculated within 48 hours of pricing). While any such Shelf Offering may allow MUA to pursue additional investment opportunities without the need to sell existing portfolio investments, it could also entail risks – including that the issuance of additional Common Shares may limit the extent to which the Common Shares are able to trade at a premium to NAV in the secondary market.
On August 26, 2021, MUA filed a final prospectus with the SEC in connection with its Shelf Offering. This report and the prospectus of MUA are not offers to sell MUA Common Shares or solicitations of an offer to buy MUA Common Shares in any jurisdiction where such offers or sales are not permitted. The prospectus of MUA contains important information about the Fund, including its investment objective, risks, charges and expenses. Investors are urged to read the prospectus of MUA carefully and in its entirety before investing. Copies of the final prospectus for MUA can be obtained from BlackRock at blackrock.com.
