Certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds Announce Estimated Sources of Distributions

The BlackRock Capital Allocation Term Trust offers investors exposure to private credit and private equity assets. The fund has delivered poor historical performance but is now trading at a substantial discount to NAV.

BCAT: Large Discount To NAV And Private Markets Exposure

BlackRock Capital Allocation Term Trust provides exposure to an actively managed portfolio split between equities and fixed-income. The fund continues to operate without leveraging up from borrowings, which I view as a positive in the current environment. BCAT's performance has been respectable, with the potential for further discount narrowing, and improved results could come from discount contraction from activist pressure.

The BlackRock Capital Allocation Term Trust is an interesting term closed-end fund that liquidates in 2032. The fund invests in both stocks and bonds, which is unusual for a term fund, but it could actually work out to the benefit of investors. The fund employs next to no leverage to boost its effective yield, so it is not especially volatile relative to other funds.

Boaz Weinstein, head of Saba Capital Management, is taking on BlackRock over a number of closed-end funds. Weinstein aims to switch BlackRock Capital Allocation Term Trust from a closed-end fund to an open-end fund to eliminate the discount to NAV. BCAT's total return performance since inception has been disappointing, but it offers a nice dividend yield and exposure to private investments.

BlackRock Capital Allocation Term Trust offers a 10.3% forward distribution yield and a portfolio of private investments. BCAT's performance has been modest since inception, underperforming compared to Vanguard Balanced Index Fund. However, with the fund trading at an 11.5% discount to NAV, investors are essentially getting its private investment portfolio for 'free'.

BlackRock Capital Allocation Term Trust continues to trade at an attractive discount and offers a diverse investment portfolio. The fund has seen improved performance in 2023, but its increased distribution may not be warranted based on its prior-year performance. BCAT remains a compelling option for long-term income investors due to its attractive discount and potential for diversification.

BCAT: Highly Diversified Fund Trading At An Attractive Discount

Investors are desperately in need of income due to the rapidly-rising cost of living in the United States. BlackRock Capital Allocation Term Trust invests in a portfolio that is split between common equity and fixed-income securities in order to produce both capital gains and income for investors.

BlackRock Capital Allocation Trust invests in a blended portfolio of stocks and bonds in an attempt to maximize total return and current income. The closed-end fund is likely to struggle to generate capital gains in the current environment, so income will be most of its returns.

BCAT: Best To Watch From The Sidelines For Now

BCAT is a multi-asset CEF launched in 2020 by BlackRock. The fund has been pummeled in 2022 on the back of higher rates.
