2 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2008

A Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder

It has been a tumultuous period for investors, marked by almost daily headlines of deepening turmoil in financial markets and a darkening economic outlook. The news took an extraordinarily heavy tone late in the period as the credit crisis boiled over and triggered unprecedented failures and consolidation in the financial sector, stoking fears of a market and economic collapse and prompting a series of new government programs designed to contain and combat the fallout.

The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) has taken decisive measures to restore liquidity and stabilize the financial system. Key moves included slashing the target federal funds rate 250 basis points (2.50%) between November 2007 and April 2008 and providing massive cash injections and lending programs. In October, as credit conditions further deteriorated, the central bank cut the key interest rate by 50 basis points on two separate occasions – on October 8 in coordination with five other global central banks, and again during its regularly scheduled meeting on October 29. This left the key short-term rate at just 1.0%, its lowest level since 2004. While the U.S. economy appeared fairly resilient through the second quarter of 2008, the third quarter saw a contraction of 0.5%, and a more significant decline is expected for the fourth quarter. Moreover, on December 1, the National Bureau of Economic Research confirmed that the U.S. had entered a recession in December 2007.

Against this backdrop, U.S. equity markets experienced intense volatility, with periods of downward pressure punctuated by sharp rebounds. Losses were significant and broad-based, though small-cap stocks fared moderately better than their larger counterparts. Non-U.S. markets decelerated at a considerably faster pace than domestic equities – a stark reversal of recent years’ trends, when international stocks generally outpaced U.S. stocks.

Treasury issues also traded in a volatile fashion, but rallied overall (yields fell and prices correspondingly rose) and outperformed other fixed income assets as investors continued their flight to higher quality and more liquid securities. Tax-exempt issues generally underperformed, as problems among municipal bond insurers and the collapse in the market for auction rate securities afflicted the group throughout the course of the past year. At the same time, the above mentioned economic headwinds and malfunctioning credit markets plagued the high yield sector, with the third quarter of 2008 marking one of the worst periods in history for the asset class.

Facing unprecedented volatility and macro pressures, the major benchmark indexes generally recorded losses for the six- and 12-month reporting periods:

| Total Returns as

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2008 BlackRock Dividend Achievers TM Trust

| Investment
Objective |
| --- |
| BlackRock
Dividend Achievers TM Trust (BDV) (the “Trust”) seeks to
provide total return through a combination of current income and capital
appreciation by investing in common stocks that pay above average dividends
and have the potential for capital appreciation. |
| Performance |
| For the 12 months ended October
31, 2008, the Trust returned (26.73)% based on market price and (27.56)%
based on net asset value (“NAV”). For the same period, the Mergent Broad
Dividend Achievers Index posted a return of (28.85)% on a NAV basis, and the
broader market, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index, returned (36.80)%. All
returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which
narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance
based on price and performance based on NAV. One of the key investment
objectives of the portfolio is to generate income through positions in stocks
with attractive dividend yields. Over the annual period, this detracted on
two levels: (1) higher-yielding stocks modestly underperformed, and (2) the
drive for yield resulted in a relatively sizable exposure to financials, the
weakest-performing sector for the 12 months. On the positive side, our
avoidance of the most troubled stocks in the Dividend Achiever universe,
namely American International Group (down 97%) and Lehman Brothers Holdings
(down 99.9%), helped mitigate losses in the portfolio. |

Objective |

| BlackRock
Enhanced Dividend Achievers TM Trust (BDJ) (the “Trust”) seeks to
provide current income and current gains, with a secondary objective of
long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve these objectives

potential for capital appreciation and by utilizing an option writing
strategy to enhance distributions paid to the Trust’s shareholders. |
| Performance |
| For the 12 months ended October

based on NAV. For the same period, the Mergent Broad Dividend Achievers Index

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2008 BlackRock Strategic Dividend Achievers TM Trust

| Investment Objective |
| --- |
| BlackRock
Strategic Dividend Achievers TM Trust (BDT) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide total return
through a combination of current income and capital appreciation by investing
primarily in common stocks of small to mid-capitalization companies that pay
above average dividends and have potential for capital appreciation. |
| Performance |
| For the 12 months
ended October 31, 2008, the Trust returned (25.88)% based on market price and
(23.93)% based on NAV. For the same period, the Mergent Broad Dividend
Achievers Index posted a return of (28.85)% on a NAV basis, and the broader
market, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index, returned (36.80)%. All returns
reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened
during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on
price and performance based on NAV. One of the key investment objectives of
the portfolio is to generate income through positions in stocks with
attractive dividend yields. Over the annual period, exposure to
higher-yielding stocks slightly detracted from results as these issues
modestly underperformed. However, our pursuit of higher-yielding, small- and
mid-cap Dividend Achievers resulted in a concentration in smaller regional
banks and an avoidance of the larger, troubled banks and insurance companies,
which helped overall returns. Significant exposure to the higher-yielding
utilities also aided performance, as utilities were one of the
better-performing sectors over the 12 months. |

EcoSolutions Investment Trust (BQR) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide current income,
current gains and long-term capital appreciation. |
| Performance |
| For the 12 months
ended October 31, 2008, the Trust returned (48.20)% based on market price and
(43.99)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Sector
Equity Funds category posted an average return of (35.59)% on a NAV basis. All
returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which
widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance
based on price and performance based on NAV. The new energy, agriculture and
water sectors were negatively impacted by market deleveraging, a flight to
cash and lower traditional fuel prices. However, new energy saw positive
legislative developments and water utility fundamentals remain intact,
although available capital may be expensive in the near term. Despite strong
earnings releases and share buyback announcements in the agricultural sector,
diminished investor confidence weighed on stocks. |

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2008 BlackRock Global Energy and Resources Trust

| Investment Objective |
| --- |
| BlackRock
Global Energy and Resources Trust (BGR) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide total return
through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Trust
attempts to achieve this objective by investing primarily in equity
securities of energy and natural resources companies and equity derivatives
with exposure to the energy and natural resources industry. |
| Performance |
| For the 12 months ended
October 31, 2008, the Trust returned (37.14)% based on market price and
(38.15)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Sector
Equity Funds category returned (35.59)% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect
reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during
the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price
and performance based on NAV. Allocation decisions within our energy exposure
contributed to the Trust’s relative underperformance. While all areas of the
sector declined, our emphasis on exploration & production, equipment
& services, and coal producers proved costly, as these segments lagged
the broader market. After a strong run up in energy commodity pricing through
June 2008, collapsed pricing in the last few months of the year put
significant downward pressure on equity prices in these areas. |

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2008 BlackRock Global Equity Income Trust

| Investment Objective |
| --- |
| BlackRock
Global Equity Income Trust (BFD) (the “Trust”) seeks current income and current
gains, with a secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. The
Trust seeks to achieve these objectives by investing in a diversified
portfolio of domestic and foreign common stocks that pay dividends and
writing (selling) stock index call options with respect to a portion of its
common stock portfolio. |
| Performance |
| For the 12 months
ended October 31, 2008, the Trust returned (42.44)% based on market price and
(38.56)% based on NAV. For the same period, the MSCI World Index posted a
return of (41.85)%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The
Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference
between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The covered
call premium strategy allowed the Trust some protection on the downside, as
management was able to take advantage of market volatility. However, during
steep sell-offs like those experienced over the past 12 months, the premium
only provides a small cushion, as the Trust is still exposed to the broader
equity market downturns. At period-end, volatility in the market persists; as
such, the Trust is defensively positioned. |

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2008 BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust

| Investment Objective |
| --- |
| BlackRock
Global Opportunities Equity Trust (BOE) (the “Trust”) seeks current income and current
gains, with a secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. The
Trust seeks to achieve its objectives by investing primarily in equity
securities issued by companies located in countries throughout the world and
utilizing an option writing strategy to enhance current gains. |
| Performance |
| For the 12 months
ended October 31, 2008, the Trust returned (38.15)% based on market price and
(35.08)% based on NAV. For the same period, the benchmark S&P Global
Broad Market Index posted a return of (43.97)%. All returns reflect
reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during
the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price
and performance based on NAV. The Trust’s outperformance during the period
was primarily attributed to strong stock selection, particularly within the
financials, materials and healthcare sectors. Sector allocation also
contributed positively, as underweight positions in financials, industrials
and information technology, along with an overweight in consumer staples,
aided return comparisons. |

| Investment Objective |
| --- |
| BlackRock
Health Sciences Trust (BME) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide total return
through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Trust
seeks to achieve this objective by investing primarily in equity securities
of companies engaged in the health sciences and related industries and equity
derivatives with exposure to the health sciences industry. |
| Performance |
| For the 12 months
ended October 31, 2008, the Trust returned (13.47)% based on market price and
(15.55)% based on NAV. For the same period, the benchmark Russell 3000
Healthcare Index returned (23.79)% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect
reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which narrowed during
the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price
and performance based on NAV. The Trust’s comparative performance benefited
equally from stock selection and sector allocation. Most notably, selection
within the healthcare equipment and biotechnology sub-sectors helped returns.
An overweight allocation to healthcare equipment and biotechnology, as well
as an underweight within managed healthcare, also had a positive impact on
the Trust’s relative return for the trailing 12-month period. |

enhanced primarily by strong stock selection, particularly within the
financials and materials sectors. An underweight exposure versus the
benchmark in financials and consumer discretionary, along with overweight
allocations to the consumer staples and telecommunication services sectors,
also benefited the Trust’s relative return for the trailing 12-month period. |

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2008 BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust

| Investment Objective |
| --- |
| BlackRock
Real Asset Equity Trust (BCF) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide total return
through a combination of current income, current gains and capital
appreciation. The Trust attempts to achieve this objective by investing
primarily in equity securities of companies engaged in energy, natural
resources and basic materials businesses and companies in associated
businesses and equity derivatives with exposure to those companies. |
| Performance |
| For the 12 months
ended October 31, 2008, the Trust returned (51.69)% based on market price and
(50.14)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Sector
Equity Funds category returned (35.59)% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect
reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened during
the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price
and performance based on NAV. The Trust’s significant relative
underperformance was due primarily to the allocation to commodity-related
market segments, such as mining and energy, both of which have lagged the
broader market. In particular, base and precious metals producers have come
under significant pressure as commodity prices have collapsed in the last
several months on waning demand. |

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2008 BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust

| Investment Objective |
| --- |
| BlackRock
S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust (BQY) (the “Trust”) seeks to provide total return through a combination of current income and
capital appreciation investing primarily in equity securities of issuers that
pay above average dividends and have the potential for capital appreciation. |
| Performance |
| For the 12
months ended October 31, 2008, the Trust returned (38.42)% based on market
price and (37.53)% based on NAV. For the same period, the MSCI World
Developed Value Index posted a return of (42.47)% on a NAV basis. All returns
reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust’s discount to NAV, which widened
during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on
price and performance based on NAV. One of the key investment objectives of
the portfolio is to generate income through positions in stocks with
attractive dividend yields. Over the past six months, this detracted as
higher-yielding stocks have modestly underperformed. However, throughout the
course of the annual period – in particular, during the past six months when
the global credit crisis intensified – higher-quality stocks significantly
outperformed lower-quality issues globally, which was beneficial. Significant
exposure to the North American region also aided results, as this was the
best-performing area over the last 12 months. |

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Dividend Achievers TM Trust (“Dividend Achievers”), BlackRock Enhanced Dividend Achievers TM Trust (“Enhanced Dividend Achievers”), BlackRock Strategic Dividend Achievers TM Trust (“Strategic Dividend Achievers”), BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust (“EcoSolutions”), BlackRock Global Energy and Resources Trust (“Global Energy and Resources”), BlackRock Global Equity Income Trust (“Global Equity Income”), BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust (“Global Opportunities”), BlackRock Health Sciences Trust (“Health Sciences”), BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust (“International Growth”), BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust (“Real Asset”), BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust (“S&P Quality Rankings”) and BlackRock World Investment Trust (“World Investment”) (collectively, the “Trusts”) are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. All Trusts, except EcoSolutions, Global Energy and Resources, Global Equity Income, Health Sciences, International Growth and Real Asset, are registered as diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). EcoSolutions, Global Energy and Resources, Global Equity Income, Health Sciences, International Growth and Real Asset are registered as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the 1940 Act. The Trusts’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Trusts determine and make available for publication the net asset values of their shares on a daily basis.

Global Equity Income was organized on January 10, 2007, and had no transactions until February 22, 2007, when the Trust sold 6,021 common shares for $115,001 to BlackRock Funding, Inc. Investment operations for Global Equity Income commenced on March 30, 2007. The Trust incurred organization costs that were deferred from the organization date until the commencement of operations.

International Growth was organized on March 13, 2007, and had no transactions until April 18, 2007, when the Trust sold 6,178 common shares for $118,001 to BlackRock Funding, Inc. Investment operations for International Growth commenced on May 30, 2007. The Trust incurred organization costs that were deferred from the organization date until the commencement of operations.

EcoSolutions was organized on June 13, 2007, and had no transactions until July 16, 2007, when the Trust sold 6,964 common shares for $133,002 to BlackRock Funding, Inc. Investment operations for EcoSolutions commenced on September 28, 2007. The Trust incurred organization costs that were deferred from the organization date until the commencement of operations.

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

Valuation of Investments: Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System are valued at the last reported sale price that day or the NASDAQ official closing price, if applicable. For equity investments traded on more than one exchange, the last reported sale price on the exchange where the stock is primarily traded is used. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last available bid price. If no bid price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the security. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value each business day. Financial futures contracts traded on exchanges are valued at their last sale price. Foreign currency exchange rates will be determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes received daily by the Trusts’ pricing service or through brokers. Short-term securities are valued at amortized cost. The Trusts value their investments in the BlackRock Liquidity Series, LLC Money Market Series at fair value, which is ordinarily based upon their pro-rata ownership in the net assets of the underlying fund.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices at the close of the options market in which the options trade. An exchange-traded option for which there is no mean price is valued at the last bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price. If no bid or ask price is available, the prior day’s price will be used, unless it is determined that such prior day’s price no longer reflects the fair value of the option. Over-the-counter options are valued by an independent pricing service using a mathematical model which incorporates a number of market data factors.

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment, the investment will be valued by a method approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that each Trust might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.

Generally, trading in foreign securities is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The values of such securities used in computing the net assets of the Trusts are determined as of such times. Foreign currency exchange rates will be determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the values of such securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of the Trust’s net assets. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, those securities will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Board or by the investment advisor using a pricing service and/or procedures approved by the Board.

78 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2008

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Derivative Financial Instruments: The Trusts may engage in various portfolio investment strategies both to increase the return of the Trusts and to hedge, or protect, their exposure to interest rate movements and movements in the securities markets. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security, or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

| • | Financial
Futures Contracts — Each Trust may purchase or sell financial futures
contracts and options on financial futures contracts for investment purposes
or to manage its interest rate risk. Futures are contracts for delayed
delivery of securities at a specific future date and at a specific price or
yield. Pursuant to the contract, the Trust agrees to receive from or pay to
the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract.
Such receipts or payments are known as margin variation and are recognized by
the Trust as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the
Trust records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the
value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it
was closed. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of an imperfect
correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts, interest
rates and the underlying assets, and the possible inability of counterparties
to meet the terms of their contracts. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Forward Currency
Contracts — A forward currency contract is an agreement
between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a
future date. Each Trust may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as
a hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. Foreign
currency exchange contracts, when used by the Trust, help to manage the
overall exposure to the foreign currency backing some of the investments held
by the Trust. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market
value is recorded by the Trust as an unrealized gain or loss. When the
contract is closed, the Trust records a realized gain or loss equal to the
difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the
time it was closed. The use of forward foreign currency contracts involves
the risk that counterparties may not meet the terms of the agreement and
market risk of unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency
relative to the U.S. dollar. |
| • | Options — The
Trusts may purchase and write call and put options. A call option gives the
purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and
obligates the seller to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying
position at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the
option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates
the writer to buy the underlying position at the exercise price at any time
or at a specified time during the option period. |
| | When the Trusts purchase (write)
an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by the Trusts is
reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the asset
(liability) is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market
value of the option written. When a security is purchased or sold through an
exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or
deducted from) the basis of the security acquired or deducted from (or added
to) the proceeds of the security sold. When an option expires (or the Trusts
enter into a closing transaction), the Trusts realize a gain or loss on the
option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the
extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received or
paid). When the Trust writes a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning
that the Trust holds the underlying security subject to being called by the
option counterparty, or cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.
When the Trust writes a put option, such option is covered by cash or liquid
securities in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation. Certain call
options are written as part of an arrangement where the counterparty to the
transaction borrows the underlying security from the Trust in a securities
lending transaction. |
| | In purchasing and writing
options, the Trusts bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the
price of the underlying security. Exercise of a written option could result
in the Trusts purchasing a security at a price different from the current
market value. The Trust may execute transactions in both listed and
over-the-counter options. Transactions in certain over-the-counter options
may expose the Trust to the risk of default by the counterparty to the
transaction. |
| • | Total Return
Swaps — The Trusts may enter into total return swaps for
investment purposes or to manage its interest rate risk. Total return swaps
are agreements in which one party commits to pay interest in exchange for a
market-linked return. To the extent the total return of the security or index
underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest
rate obligation, the Trusts will receive a payment from or make a payment to
the counterparty. These periodic payments received or made by the Trusts are
recorded in the accompanying Statements of Operations as realized gains or
losses, respectively. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in value
are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). When the swap is
terminated, the Trusts will record a realized gain or loss equal to the
difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and
the Trusts’ basis in the contract, if any. Swap transactions involve, to
varying degrees, elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amounts
recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the
possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that
the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform
or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and
that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates and/or market values
associated with these transactions. |

Foreign Currency Transactions: Foreign currency amounts are translated into United States dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange; and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Each Trust reports foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2008 79

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Segregation and Collateralization : In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that each Trust segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., options, swaps, forward currency contracts or financial futures contracts), each Trust will, consistent with certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, designate on their books and records cash or other liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each Trust may also be required to deliver or deposit securities as collateral for certain investments (e.g., financial futures contracts, swaps and written options).

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when the Trust has determined the ex-dividend date. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. The Trusts amortize all premiums and discounts on debt securities. Upon commencement of operations, organization costs associated with the establishment of the Trusts were expensed by the Trusts and reimbursed by the Advisor. Offering costs are amortized over a twelve month period beginning with the commencement of operations.

Dividends and Distributions: All Trusts declare and pay dividends and distributions to shareholders quarterly from net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains and, if necessary, other sources. Net long-term capital gains, if any, in excess of loss carryforwards may be distributed annually. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend dates.

Securities Lending: The Trusts may lend securities to financial institutions that provide cash or securities issued or guaranteed by the United States government as collateral, which will be maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Trusts and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Trusts on the next business day. The Trusts typically receive the income on the loaned securities but do not receive the income on the collateral. Where the Trusts receive cash collateral, it may invest such collateral and retain the amount earned on such investment, net of any amount rebated to the borrower. The Trusts may receive a flat fee for their loans. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions. The Trusts may pay reasonable lending agent, administrative and custodial fees in connection with their loans. In the event that the borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities because of insolvency or for any other reason, the Trusts could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Trusts also could suffer a loss where the value of the invested collateral falls below the market value of the borrowed securities either in the event of borrower default or in the event of losses on investments made with cash collateral. For the year ended October 31, 2008, the Trusts received only cash collateral for any securities loaned.

Income Taxes: It is the Trusts’ policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provisions are required. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.

Effective April 30, 2008, each Trust except EcoSolutions, Global Equity Income and International Growth implemented Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). Effective October 31, 2007, EcoSolutions, Global Equity Income and International Growth implemented FIN 48. FIN 48 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity, including investment companies, before being measured and recognized in the financial statements. The investment advisor has evaluated the application of FIN 48 to the Trusts, and has determined that the adoption of FIN 48 does not have a material impact on the Trusts’ financial statements. The Trusts file U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Dividend Achievers, Enhanced Dividend Achievers, Strategic Dividend Achievers, Global Energy and Resources, Global Opportunities, Health Sciences, Real Asset, S&P Quality Rankings and World Investment’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the years ended October 31, 2005 through October 31, 2007. The statute of limitations on EcoSolutions, Global Equity Income and International Growth’s U.S. federal tax returns remains open for the year ended October 31, 2007. The statute of limitations on the Trusts’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In September 2006, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The impact on the Trusts’ financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“FAS 161”), was issued. FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. In September 2008, FASB Staff Position No. 133-1 and FASB Interpretation No. 45-4 (the “FSP”), “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and

80 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2008

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161” was issued and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after November 15, 2008. The FSP amends FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to require disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including credit derivatives embedded in hybrid instruments. The FSP also clarifies the effective date of FAS 161, whereby disclosures required by FAS 161 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The impact on the Trusts’ financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

Bank Overdraft : EcoSolutions recorded a bank overdraft resulting from an incorrect posting by the custodian.

Dividend Achievers Universe: Dividend Achievers, Enhanced Dividend Achievers and Strategic Dividend Achievers have been granted a revocable license by Mergent ® , Inc. (“Mergent”) to use the Dividend Achievers TM universe of common stocks. If Mergent revokes each Trust’s license to use the Dividend Achievers TM universe, the Board of that Trust may need to adopt a new investment strategy and/or new investment policies. There is no assurance that a Trust would pursue or achieve its investment objective during the period in which it implements these replacement investment policies or strategies. ‘‘Mergent’’ and ‘‘Dividend Achievers TM ’’ are trademarks of Mergent and have been licensed for use by Dividend Achievers TM , Enhanced Dividend Achievers TM and Strategic Dividend Achievers TM . The products are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Mergent and Mergent makes no representation regarding the advisability of investing in any of these three Trusts. The Trusts are required to pay a quarterly licensing fee, which is shown on their Statement of Operations.

S&P Quality Rankings: S&P Quality Rankings has been granted a license by Standard & Poor’s ® , (“S&P”) to use the S&P Quality Rankings and the S&P International Quality Rankings. If S&P terminates the license to use either the S&P Quality Rankings or the S&P International Quality Rankings, the Board may need to adopt a new investment strategy and/or new investment polices. There is no assurance that the Trust would pursue or achieve its investment objective during the period in which it implements these replacement investment policies or strategies. “Standard & Poor’s”, “S&P”, “Standard & Poor’s Earnings and Dividend Rankings”, “S&P Earnings and Dividend Rankings”, “Standard & Poor’s Quality Rankings”, “Standard & Poor’s International Quality Rankings”, “S&P International Quality Rankings” and “S&P Quality Rankings” are trademarks of Standard & Poor’s and have been licensed for use by the Trust. The Trust is not sponsored, managed, advised, sold or promoted by Standard & Poor’s. The Trust is required to pay a quarterly licensing fee, which is shown on its Statement of Operations.

Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved by each Trust’s Board, non-interested Trustees (“Independent Trustees”) defer a portion of their annual complex-wide compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of other BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees. This has approximately the same economic effect for the Independent Trustees as if the Independent Trustees had invested the deferred amounts directly in the other BlackRock Closed-End Funds.

The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trust. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of other BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the Independent Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation obligations. Investments to cover the Trusts’ deferred compensation liability are included in other assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Dividends and distributions from the BlackRock Closed-End Fund investments under the plan are included in income from affiliates on the Statements of Operations.

Other: Expenses directly related to a Trust are charged to that Trust. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro-rated among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

Each Trust has an Investment Management Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., to provide investment advisory and administration services. Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) and The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) are principal owners of BlackRock, Inc.

The Advisor is responsible for the management of the each Trust’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Trusts. For such services, the Trusts pay the Advisor a monthly fee at the following annual rates of the average daily value of each Trust’s net assets: 0.65% for Dividend Achievers, 1.00% for Enhanced Dividend Achievers, 0.75% for Strategic Dividend Achievers, 1.20% for EcoSolutions, 1.20% for Global Energy and Resources, 1.00% for Global Equity Income, 1.00% for Global Opportunities, 1.00% for Health Sciences, 1.00% for International Growth, 1.20% for Real Asset, 0.75% for S&P Quality Rankings and 1.00% for World Investment. The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the investment advisory fees on Global Energy and Resources and Real Asset as a percentage of their average weekly net assets as follows: 0.20% for the first five years of the Trusts’ operations (2004 through 2009 for Global Energy and Resources and 2006 through 2011 for Real Asset), 0.15% in 2010 for Global Energy and Resources and in 2012 for Real Asset, 0.10% in 2011 for Global Energy and Resources and in 2013 for Real Asset and 0.05% in 2012 for Global Energy and Resources and in 2014 for Real Asset.

The Advisor has entered into separate sub-advisory agreements with BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. (“BFM”) for Dividend Achievers, Enhanced Dividend Achievers, Strategic Dividend Achievers, S&P Quality Rankings and World Investment, State Street Research & Management Company (“SSRM”) for Global Energy and Resources, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”) and BlackRock Investment Management International Limited (“BII”) for Real Asset and EcoSolutions, BlackRock Capital Management, Inc. (“BCM”) and BIM for Global Equity Income, each an affiliate of the Advisor. The Advisor pays each sub-advisor for services they provide, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment advisory fee paid by each Trust to the Advisor.

Reclassifications: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net asserts or on net asset values per share. The following permanent differences as of October 31, 2008 attributable to the difference between book/tax accounting for Real Estate Investment Trusts, the classification of income recognition from partnership interests, accounting for swap agreements, the sale of stock of passive foreign investment companies and foreign currency transactions were reclassified to the following accounts:

Dividend Achievers Decrease Paid-in Capital — $ — $ (2,067,584 ) Increase (Decrease) Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) — $ 2,067,584

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Trusts, including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trusts’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Trusts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trusts’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trusts as of October 31, 2008, the results of their operations for the period then ended, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Board of Trustees (collectively, the “Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Trustees”) of the BlackRock Dividend Achievers Trust (“BDV”), BlackRock Enhanced Dividend Achievers Trust (“BDJ”), BlackRock Global Energy and Resources Trust (“BGR”), BlackRock Global Equity Income Trust (“BFD”), BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust (“BOE”), BlackRock Health Sciences Trust (“BME”), BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust (“BGY”), BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust (“BCF”), BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust (“BQY”), BlackRock Strategic Dividend Achievers Trust (“BDT”) and BlackRock World Investment Trust (“BWC,” and together with BDV, BDJ, BGR, BFD, BOE, BME, BGY, BCF, BQY and BDT, the “Funds”) met in April and May 2008 to consider approving the continuation of each Fund’s investment advisory agreement (each, an “Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), each Fund’s investment advisor. The Board also considered the approval of each Fund’s subadvisory agreement (each, a “Subadvisory Agreement” and, together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) between the Advisor and, as applicable, BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., BlackRock Investment Management, LLC, BlackRock Investment Management International Limited, BlackRock Capital Management, Inc. and State Street Research & Management Company (collectively, the “Subadvisor”). The Advisor and the Subadvisor are collectively referred to herein as the “Advisors” and, together with BlackRock, Inc., “BlackRock.”

Activities and Composition of the Board

The Board of each Fund consists of thirteen individuals, eleven of whom are not “interested persons” of the Funds as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”). The Trustees are responsible for the oversight of the operations of the Funds and perform the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Trustees have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chairman of the Board is an Independent Trustee. The Board has established four standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee and a Performance Oversight Committee.

Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement

Upon the consummation of the combination of BlackRock, Inc.’s investment management business with Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc.’s investment management business, including Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, L.P., and certain affiliates, each Fund entered into an Advisory Agreement and a Subadvisory Agreement, each with an initial two-year term. Consistent with the 1940 Act, after the Advisory Agreement’s and Subadvisory Agreement’s respective initial two-year term, the Board is required to consider the continuation of each Fund’s Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement on an annual basis. In connection with this process, the Board assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to each Fund by the personnel of BlackRock and its affiliates, including investment advisory services, administrative services, secondary market support services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. The Board also received and assessed information regarding the services provided to each Fund by certain unaffiliated service providers.

Throughout the year, the Board also considered a range of information in connection with its oversight of the services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance for one-, three- and five-year periods, as applicable, against peer funds, as well as senior management and portfolio managers’ analysis of the reasons for underperformance, if applicable; (b) fees, including advisory, administration and other fees paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by each Fund, as applicable; (c) Fund operating expenses paid to third parties; (d) the resources devoted to and compliance reports relating to each Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions; (e) each Fund’s compliance with its Code of Ethics and compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting guidelines approved by the Board; (i) the use of brokerage commissions and spread and execution quality; (j) valuation and liquidity procedures; and (k) reviews of BlackRock’s business, including BlackRock’s response to the increasing scale of its business.

Board Considerations in Approving the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement

To assist the Board in its evaluation of the Agreements, the Trustees received information from BlackRock in advance of the April 22, 2008 meeting which detailed, among other things, the organization, business lines and capabilities of the Advisors, including: (a) the responsibilities of various departments and key personnel and biographical information relating to key personnel; (b) financial statements for BlackRock; (c) the advisory and/or administrative fees paid by each Fund to the Advisors, including comparisons, compiled by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent third party, with the management fees, which include advisory and administration fees, of funds with similar investment objectives (“Peers”); (d) the profitability of BlackRock and certain industry profitability analyses for advisors to registered investment companies; (e) the expenses of BlackRock in providing various services; (f) non-investment advisory reimbursements, if applicable, and “fallout” benefits to BlackRock; (g) economies of scale, if any, generated through the Advisors’ management of all of the BlackRock closed-end funds (the “Fund Complex”); (h) the expenses of each Fund, including comparisons of each such Fund’s expense ratios (both before and after any fee waivers) with the expense ratios of its Peers; (i) an internal comparison of management fees classified by Lipper, if applicable; and (j) each Fund’s performance for the past one-, three- and five-year periods, as applicable, as well as each Fund’s performance compared to its Peers.

The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, where applicable, such as payments made to BlackRock or its affiliates relating to the distribution of Fund shares, services related to the valuation and pricing of Fund portfolio holdings, allocation of Fund brokerage fees (including the related benefits to BlackRock of “soft dollars”) and direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds.

ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2008 87

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (continued)

In addition to the foregoing materials, independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees provided a legal memorandum outlining, among other things, the duties of the Board under the 1940 Act, as well as the general principles of relevant law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts, the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters, an advisor’s fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation, and the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards of directors have fulfilled their duties and the factors to be considered by boards in voting on advisory agreements.

The Independent Trustees reviewed this information and discussed it with independent legal counsel prior to the meeting on April 22, 2008. At the Board meeting on April 22, 2008, BlackRock made a presentation to and responded to questions from the Board. Following the meeting on April 22, 2008, the Board presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written materials provided to the Trustees prior to the meetings on May 29 and 30, 2008. At the Board meetings on May 29 and 30, 2008, BlackRock responded to further questions from the Board. In connection with BlackRock’s presentations, the Board considered each Agreement and, in consultation with independent legal counsel, reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) statements relating to the renewal of the Agreements.

Matters Considered by the Board

In connection with its deliberations with respect to the Agreements, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant with respect to each Fund, including the following: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisors; the investment performance of each Fund; the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisors and their affiliates from their relationship with the Funds; the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund Complex grows; and whether BlackRock realizes other benefits from its relationship with the Funds.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services: In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Advisors’ services, the Board reviewed information concerning the types of services that the Advisors provide and are expected to provide to each Fund, narrative and statistical information concerning each Fund’s performance record and how such performance compares to each Fund’s Peers, information describing BlackRock’s organization and its various departments, the experience and responsibilities of key personnel and available resources. The Board noted the willingness of the personnel of BlackRock to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board further considered the quality of the Advisors’ investment process in making portfolio management decisions.

In addition to advisory services, the Trustees considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to the Funds. The Advisors and their affiliates provided each Fund with such administrative and other services, as applicable (in addition to any such services provided by others for the Funds), and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the respective Fund. In addition to investment management services, the Advisors and their affiliates provided each Fund with services such as: preparing shareholder reports and communications, including annual and semi-annual financial statements and the Funds’ websites; communications with analysts to support secondary market trading; assisting with daily accounting and pricing; preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings; providing legal and compliance support (such as helping to prepare proxy statements and responding to regulatory inquiries); and performing other Fund administrative tasks necessary for the operation of the respective Fund (such as tax reporting and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). The Board considered the Advisors’ policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and BlackRock: As previously noted, the Board received performance information regarding each Fund and its Peers. Among other things, the Board received materials reflecting each Fund’s historic performance and each Fund’s one-, three- and five-year total returns (as applicable) relative to its Peers (including the Peers’ median performance). The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select each Fund’s Peers. The Board noted that it regularly reviews the performance of each Fund throughout the year. The Board reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various factors that affect Lipper rankings.

The Board noted that in general BGY performed better than its Peers in that its performance was above the median of its Peers in the since inception period reported.

The Board noted that in general BCF, BOE, BME and BWC performed better than their respective Peers in that their performance was at or above the median of their respective Peers in both of the one-year and since inception periods reported.

The Board noted that in general BDV, BGR and BQY performed better than their respective Peers in that their performance was at or above the median of their respective Peers in at least two of the one-year, three-year and since inception periods reported.

The Board noted that BFD’s performance was below the median of its Peers for the since inception period reported. The Board concluded that BlackRock was committed to providing the resources necessary to assist the portfolio managers and to continue improving BFD’s performance. Based on its review, the Board generally was satisfied with BlackRock’s efforts to manage BFD.

The Board noted that BDT performed below the median of its Peers in at least two of the one-year, three-year and since inception periods reported. The Board then discussed with representatives of BlackRock the reasons for BDT’s underperformance during these periods compared with its Peers. The Board noted that BDT’s underperformance was as a result of its bias towards higher yielding equities, creating a significant allocation of BDT’s portfolio to financial companies.

88 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2008

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement (continued)

The Board noted that BDJ performed below the median of its Peers in both the one-year and since inception periods reported. The Board then discussed with representatives of BlackRock the reasons for BDJ’s underper-formance during these periods compared with its Peers. The Board noted that BDJ’s underperformance was as a result of its bias towards higher yielding equities, creating a significant allocation of BDJ’s portfolio to financial companies.

For each of BDT and BDJ, the Board concluded that BlackRock was committed to providing the resources necessary to assist the portfolio managers and to continue improving each Fund’s performance. Based on its review, the Board generally was satisfied with BlackRock’s efforts to manage each of the Funds.

C. Consideration of the Advisory Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Funds: In evaluating the management fees and expenses that each Fund is expected to bear, the Board considered each Fund’s current management fee structure and each Fund’s expense ratios in absolute terms as well as relative to the fees and expense ratios of its applicable Peers. The Board, among other things, reviewed comparisons of each Fund’s gross management fees before and after any applicable reimbursements and fee waivers and total expense ratios before and after any applicable waivers with those of applicable Peers. The Board also reviewed a narrative analysis of the Peer rankings prepared by Lipper and summarized by BlackRock at the request of the Board. This summary placed the Peer rankings into context by analyzing various factors that affect these comparisons.

The Board noted that each of BDV, BDJ, BFD, BOE, BME, BGY, BQY, BDT and BWC paid contractual management fees lower than or equal to the median contractual fees paid by each Fund’s respective Peers. This comparison was made without giving effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers.

The Board noted that although BGR and BCF paid contractual management fees higher than the median of each Fund’s respective Peers, each Fund’s actual management fees were lower than or equal to the median of its respective Peers.

The Board also compared the management fees charged and services provided by the Advisors to closed-end funds in general versus other types of clients (such as open-end investment companies and separately managed institutional accounts) in similar investment categories. The Board noted certain differences in services provided and costs incurred by the Advisor with respect to closed-end funds compared to these other types of clients and the reasons for such differences.

In connection with the Board’s consideration of the fees and expense information, the Board reviewed the considerable investment management experience of the Advisors and considered the high level of investment management, administrative and other services provided by the Advisors.

D. Profitability of BlackRock: The Board also considered BlackRock’s profitability in conjunction with its review of fees. The Board reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to the Fund Complex and other fund complexes managed by the Advisors. In reviewing profitability, the Board recognized that one of the most difficult issues in determining profitability is establishing a method of allocating expenses. The Board also reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Board also recognized that individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is generally not publicly available.

The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat limited. Nevertheless, to the extent available, the Board considered BlackRock’s operating margin compared to the operating margin estimated by BlackRock for a leading investment management firm whose operations consist primarily of advising closed-end funds. The comparison indicated that BlackRock’s operating margin was approximately the same as the operating margin of such firm.

In evaluating the reasonableness of the Advisors’ compensation, the Board also considered any other revenues paid to the Advisors, including partial reimbursements paid to the Advisors for certain non-investment advisory services, if applicable. The Board noted that these payments were less than the Advisors’ costs for providing these services. The Board also considered indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements) that the Advisors and their affiliates are expected to receive, which are attributable to their management of the Fund.

E. Economies of Scale: In reviewing each Fund’s fees and expenses, the Board examined the potential benefits of economies of scale, and whether any economies of scale should be reflected in the Fund’s fee structure, for example through the use of breakpoints for the Fund or the Fund Complex. In this regard, the Board reviewed information provided by BlackRock, noting that most closed-end fund complexes do not have fund-level breakpoints because closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial growth after their initial public offering and each fund is managed independently consistent with its own investment objectives. The Board noted that only three closed-end funds in the Fund Complex have breakpoints in their fee structures. Information provided by Lipper also revealed that only one closed-end fund complex used a complex-level breakpoint structure. The Board found, based on its review of comparable funds, that each Fund’s management fee is appropriate in light of the scale of the respective Fund.

F. Other Factors: In evaluating fees, the Board also considered indirect benefits or profits the Advisors or their affiliates may receive as a result of their relationships with the Funds (“fall-out benefits”). The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to the Advisors and their affiliates by virtue of their relationships with the Funds, including potential benefits accruing to the Advisors and their affiliates as a result of participating in offerings of the Funds’ shares, potentially stronger relationships with members of the broker-dealer community, increased name recognition of the Advisors and their affiliates, enhanced sales of

other investment funds and products sponsored by the Advisors and their affiliates and increased assets under management which may increase the benefits realized by the Advisors from soft dollar arrangements with broker-dealers. The Board also considered the unquantifiable nature of these potential benefits.

Conclusion with Respect to the Agreements

In reviewing and approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Trustees may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Trustees were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined that each of the factors described above, in light of all the other factors and all of the facts and circumstances applicable to each respective Fund, was acceptable for each Fund and supported the Trustees’ conclusion that the terms of each Agreement were fair and reasonable, that each Fund’s fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to the respective Fund and that each Agreement should be approved.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements for BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust

The Board of Trustees (the “Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Trustees”) of the BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust (the “Trust”) met on July 16, 2007 and August 16, 2007 to consider the approval of the Trust’s investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), the Trust’s investment advisor. The Board also considered the approval of the Trust’s subadvisory agreements (collectively, the “Subadvisory Agreements” and, together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) among the Trust, the Advisor and BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”) and among the Trust, the Advisor and BlackRock Investment Management International Limited (together with BIM, the “Subadvisor”). The Trust commenced operations in September 2007. The Advisor and the Subadvisor are collectively referred to herein as the “Advisors” and, together with BlackRock, Inc., “BlackRock.”

Activities and Composition of the Board

At the time the Agreements were considered for approval, the Board of the Trust consisted of six individuals, five of whom were not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”). These Trustees were responsible for the oversight of the operations of the Trust and performed the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Trustees retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chairman of the Board was an Independent Director. The Board had four standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance Committee, a Compliance Committee and a Portfolio Review Committee.

Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement

Throughout the year, in connection with their duties as trustees or directors of other funds in the Fund Complex, the Board considered a range of information in connection with its oversight of the services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates. Among the matters the Board considered were: (a) investment performance of funds in the Fund Complex; (b) fees, including advisory, administration and other fees paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by funds in the Fund Complex, as applicable; (c) fund operating expenses paid to third parties by funds in the Fund Complex; (d) the resources devoted to and compliance reports relating to investment objectives, policies and restrictions of funds in the Fund Complex; (e) compliance by funds in the Fund Complex with their Code of Ethics and compliance policies and procedures; (f) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by BlackRock and its affiliates; (g) BlackRock’s and other service providers’ internal controls; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting guidelines approved by the Board; (i) the use of brokerage commissions and spread and execution quality; (j) valuation and liquidity procedures; and (k) reviews of BlackRock’s business, including BlackRock’s response to the increasing scale of its business.

Board Considerations in Approving the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement

To assist the Board in its evaluation of the Agreements, in advance of the July 16, 2007 and August 16, 2007 meetings, the Trustees received from BlackRock information which detailed, among other things, the organization, business lines and capabilities of the Advisors, including: (a) the responsibilities of various departments and key personnel and biographical information relating to key personnel; (b) the advisory and/or administrative fees to be paid by the Trust to the Advisors, including comparisons with the management fees, which include advisory and administration fees, of its Peers; (c) “fallout” benefits to BlackRock; and (d) the estimated expenses of the Trust, including comparisons of the Trust’s expense ratios with the expense ratios of its Peers.

The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, where applicable, such as payments to be made to BlackRock or its affiliates relating to the distribution of Trust shares, services related to the valuation and pricing of Trust portfolio holdings, allocation of Trust brokerage fees (including the related benefits to BlackRock of “soft dollars”) and direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Trust.

In addition to the foregoing materials, independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees provided a legal memorandum outlining, among other things, the duties of the Board under the 1940 Act, as well as the general principles of relevant law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts, the

90 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2008

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements for BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust (continued)

requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters, an advisor’s fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation, and the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards of directors have fulfilled their duties and the factors to be considered by boards in voting on advisory agreements.

The Independent Trustees reviewed this information and discussed it with independent legal counsel prior to the meetings on July 16, 2007 and August 16, 2007. At the Board meetings on July 16, 2007 and August 16, 2007, BlackRock made a presentation to and responded to questions from the Board. In connection with BlackRock’s presentations, the Board considered each Agreement and, in consultation with independent legal counsel, reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and SEC statements relating to the approval of the Agreements.

Matters Considered by the Board

In connection with its deliberations with respect to the Agreements, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant with respect to the Trust, including the following: the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisors; the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisors and their affiliates from their relationship with the Trust; the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund Complex grows; and whether BlackRock will realize other benefits from its relationship with the Trust.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services: In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the Advisors’ services, the Board reviewed information concerning the types of services that the Advisors provide and are expected to provide to the Trust, information describing BlackRock’s organization and its various departments, the experience and responsibilities of key personnel and available resources. The Board noted the willingness of the personnel of BlackRock to engage in open, candid discussions with the Board. The Board further considered the quality of the Advisors’ investment process in making portfolio management decisions. The Board also noted information received at prior Board meetings concerning standards of BlackRock with respect to the execution of portfolio transactions.

In addition to advisory services, throughout the year, the Trustees consider the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to the Fund Complex, which would also be provided to the Trust. The Advisors and their affiliates provide the funds in the Fund Complex with such administrative and other services, as applicable (in addition to any such services provided by others to the funds), and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the funds. In addition to investment management services, the Advisors and their affiliates provide each fund in the Fund Complex with services such as: preparing shareholder reports and communications, including annual and semi-annual financial statements and the funds’ website; communications with analysts to support secondary market trading; assisting with daily accounting and pricing; preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; administering and organizing Board meetings and preparing the Board materials for such meetings; providing legal and compliance support (such as helping to prepare proxy statements and responding to regulatory inquiries); and performing other administrative tasks necessary for the operation of the respective fund (such as tax reporting and fulfilling regulatory filing requirements). The Board considered the Advisors’ policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

B. The Investment Performance of the Trust and BlackRock: The Board did not consider the performance history of the Trust because the Trust was newly organized; however, the Board considered the investment performance of BlackRock generally. The Board will monitor the Trust’s performance.

C. Consideration of the Advisory Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Trust: In evaluating the management fees and expenses that the Trust is expected to bear, the Board considered the Trust’s proposed management fee structure and the Trust’s expense ratios in absolute terms as well as relative to the fees and expense ratios of its applicable Peers. The Board, among other things, reviewed comparisons of the Trust’s gross management fees before and after any fee waivers and total expense ratios before and after any waivers with those of its Peers.

Because the Trust had not yet commenced operations, BlackRock did not provide the Board with specific information concerning the expected profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationships with the Trust. BlackRock, however, will provide the Board with such information at future meetings when the Agreements are being considered for renewal.

Throughout the year, the Board considers the cost of the services provided to the funds in the Fund Complex by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to the management and, if applicable, distribution of such funds. As part of its analysis, the Board typically reviews BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the funds in the Fund Complex. The Board also generally considers whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to provide the high quality of services that are expected by the Board.

In connection with the Board’s consideration of the fees and expense information, the Board reviewed the considerable investment management experience of the Advisors and considered the high level of investment management, administrative and other services provided by the Advisors.

D. Economies of Scale: In reviewing the Trust’s fees and expenses, the Board examined the potential benefits of economies of scale, and whether any economies of scale should be reflected in the Trust’s fee structure, for example through the use of breakpoints for the Trust or the Fund Complex. The Board found, based on its review of comparable funds, that the Trust’s management fee is appropriate in light of the scale of the Trust.

E. Other Factors: In evaluating fees, the Board also considered fall-out benefits. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the intan-

ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2008 91

gible benefits that accrue to the Advisors and their affiliates by virtue of their relationships with the Trust, including potential benefits accruing to the Advisors and their affiliates as a result of participating in offerings of the Trust’s shares, potentially stronger relationships with members of the broker-dealer community, increased name recognition of the Advisors and their affiliates, enhanced sales of other investment funds and products sponsored by the Advisors and their affiliates and increased assets under management which may increase the benefits realized by the Advisors from soft dollar arrangements with broker-dealers. The Board also considered the unquantifiable nature of these potential benefits.

During the Trustees’ deliberations in connection with its approval of the management fee, the Trustees were aware that BlackRock intended to pay compensation, out of its own assets, to the lead underwriter and to certain qualifying underwriters of the Trust’s common shares and of the anticipated amounts of such compensation and the general nature of the services to be rendered to BlackRock in consideration of such compensation. The Trustees also considered whether the management fee met applicable standards in light of the services provided by the Advisor, without regard to whether the Advisor ultimately pays any portion of the anticipated compensation to the underwriters.

Conclusion with Respect to the Agreements

In reviewing and approving the Agreements, the Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Trustees may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Trustees were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined that each of the factors described above, in light of all the other factors and all of the facts and circumstances applicable to the Trust, was acceptable for the Trust and supported the Trustees’ conclusion that the terms of each Agreement were fair and reasonable, that the Trust’s fees are reasonable in light of the services to be provided to the Trust and that each Agreement should be approved.

Dividend Reinvestment Plans (unaudited)

Pursuant to each Trust’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), common shareholders are automatically enrolled, to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains reinvested by The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Plan Agent”) in the respective Trust’s shares pursuant to the Plan. Shareholders who do not participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash paid by check and mailed directly to the shareholders of record (or if the shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Plan Agent.

After a Trust declares a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ account, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Trust (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by open market purchases. If, on the dividend payment date, the net asset value per share (“NAV”) is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market premium”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly issued shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV on the date the shares are issued. However, if the NAV is less than 95% of the market price on the payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is greater than the market value per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market discount”), the Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases.

The Plan Agent’s fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and distributions will be paid by each Trust. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any Federal income tax that may be payable on such dividends or distributions.

Each Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan; however, each Trust reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants who request a sale of shares through the Plan Agent are subject to a $2.50 sales fee and a $0.15 per share sold brokerage commission. All correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent at The Bank of New York Mellon, Dividend Reinvestment Department, P.O. Box 1958, Newark, New Jersey 07101-9774; or by calling 1-866-216-0242.

Additional Information (continued)

Fund Certification

The Trusts that are listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and have filed with the NYSE their annual chief executive officer certification regarding compliance with the NYSE’s listing standards. Each Trust filed with the SEC the certification of their chief executive officer and chief financial officer required by section 302 of the Sabanes-Oxley Act.

Availability of Quarterly Schedule of Investments

Each Trust files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. Each Trust’s Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC.

Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling (800) SEC-0330. Each Trust’s Forms N-Q may also be obtained upon request and without charge by calling (800) 441-7762.

Electronic Delivery

Electronic copies of most financial reports are available on the Trusts’ website or shareholders can sign up for e-mail notifications of quarterly statements, annual and semi-annual reports and prospectuses by enrolling in the Trusts’ electronic delivery program.

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

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

General Information

The Trusts do not make available copies of their Statements of Additional Information because the Trusts’ shares are not continuously offered, which means that the Statements of Additional Information of the Trusts have not been updated after completion of the Trusts’ offering and the information contained in the Trusts’ Statements of Additional Information may have become outdated.

During the period, there were no material changes in the Trusts’ investment objectives or policies or to the Trusts’ charters or by-laws that were not approved by the shareholders or in the principal risk factors associated with the investment in the Trusts. There have been no changes in the persons who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Trusts’ portfolios. The Trusts will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly called “householding” and it 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 contact the Trusts at (800) 441-7762

Quarterly performance, semi-annual and annual reports and other information regarding each Trust may be found on BlackRock’s website, which can be accessed at http://www.blackrock.com. This reference to BlackRock’s website is intended to allow investors public access to information regarding each Trust and does not, and is not intended to, incorporate BlackRock’s website into this report.

  • The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized gains; therefore, a portion of the distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to the shareholder. A return of capital does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income’.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:

The registrant’s audit committee (the “Committee”) has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the registrant’s affiliated service providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operation or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 for all of the registrants the Committee oversees. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels.

Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels.

(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any non-affiliated
sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by
the registrant’s investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not
pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with
maintaining the principal accountant’s independence. |

| Item 7 – | Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures
for Closed-End Management Investment Companies – The board of directors has delegated the voting of proxies for the Fund securities to the
Fund’s investment advisor (“Investment Adviser”) pursuant to the Investment Adviser’s proxy
voting guidelines. Under these guidelines, the Investment Adviser will vote proxies related to Fund
securities in the best interests of the Fund and its stockholders. From time to time, a vote may
present a conflict between the interests of the Fund’s stockholders, on the one hand, and those of the
Investment Adviser, or any affiliated person of the Fund or the Investment Adviser, on the other. In
such event, provided that the Investment Adviser’s Equity Investment Policy Oversight Committee,
or a sub-committee thereof (the “Oversight Committee”) is aware of the real or potential conflict or
material non-routine matter and if the Oversight Committee does not reasonably believe it is able to
follow its general voting guidelines (or if the particular proxy matter is not addressed in the
guidelines) and vote impartially, the Oversight Committee may retain an independent fiduciary to
advise the Oversight Committee on how to vote or to cast votes on behalf of the Investment
Adviser’s clients. If the Investment Adviser determines not to retain an independent fiduciary, or
does not desire to follow the advice of such independent fiduciary, the Oversight Committee shall
determine how to vote the proxy after consulting with the Investment Adviser’s Portfolio
Management Group and/or the Investment Adviser’s Legal and Compliance Department and
concluding that the vote cast is in its client’s best interest notwithstanding the conflict. A copy of the
Fund’s Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures are attached as Exhibit 99.PROXYPOL. Information on
how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period |

(iv) Potential Material Conflicts of Interest

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

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

(a)(3) As of October 31, 2008:

Portfolio Manager Compensation Overview

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

Base compensation. Generally, portfolio managers receive base compensation based on their seniority and/or their position with the firm. Senior portfolio managers who perform additional management functions within the portfolio management group or within BlackRock may receive additional compensation for serving in these other capacities.

Discretionary Incentive Compensation for Messrs. Callan and Carey and Ms. Rosenbaum

Discretionary incentive compensation is based on a formulaic compensation program. BlackRock’s formulaic portfolio manager compensation program includes: pre-tax investment performance relative to appropriate competitors or benchmarks over 1-, 3- and 5-year performance periods and a team revenue component. If a portfolio manager’s tenure is less than five years, performance periods will reflect time in position. In most cases, including for the portfolio managers of the Fund, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Fund or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers determine the benchmarks against which the performance of funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager is compared and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to the portfolio managers, such benchmarks for the Fund include the following:

Portfolio Manager Benchmarks Applicable to Each Manager
Thomas P. Callan A combination of market-based indices (e.g., Standard & Poor’s 500
Index, Lipper Health/Biotechnology Funds Index, The Russell 3000
Healthcare Index, The S&P/Citigroup Extended Market Index U.S., The
S&P/Citigroup Global BMI, NYSE Arca Tech 100 Index, S&P
Citigroup Broad Market Index Global Ex-U.S., S&P/Citigroup Extended
Market Index Global Ex-U.S.), certain customized indices and certain
fund industry peer groups.
Jean M. Rosenbaum A combination of market-based indices (e.g., The S&P/Citigroup
Extended Market Index U.S., NYSE Arca Tech 100 Index), certain
customized indices and certain fund industry peer groups.
Michael D. Carey A combination of market-based indices (e.g., The S&P/Citigroup
Extended Market Ex-U.S. Index, The S&P/Citigroup Global BMI, The
S&P/Citigroup Broad Market Index Global Ex-U.S.), certain customized indices
and certain fund industry peer groups.

Portfolio managers who meet relative investment performance and financial management objectives during a specified performance time period are eligible to receive an additional bonus which may or may not be a large part of their overall compensation. A smaller element of portfolio manager discretionary compensation may include consideration of: financial results, expense control, profit margins, strategic planning and implementation, quality of client service, market share, corporate

reputation, capital allocation, compliance and risk control, leadership, workforce diversity, supervision, technology and innovation. All factors are considered collectively by BlackRock management.

Discretionary Incentive Compensation for Mr. McClements

Discretionary incentive compensation is a function of several components: the performance of BlackRock, Inc., the performance of the portfolio manager’s group within BlackRock, the investment performance, including risk-adjusted returns, of the firm’s assets under management or supervision by that portfolio manager relative to predetermined benchmarks, and the individual’s seniority, role within the portfolio management team, teamwork and contribution to the overall performance of these portfolios and BlackRock. In most cases, including for the portfolio managers of the Fund, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Fund or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers determine the benchmarks against which the performance of funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager is compared and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to Mr. McClements, such benchmarks for the Fund’s option strategy include the Lipper Options Arbitrage/Options Strategies Funds classification.

BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers make a subjective determination with respect to the portfolio manager’s compensation based on the performance of the funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager relative to the various benchmarks noted above. Performance is measured on a pre-tax basis over various time periods including 1, 3 and 5-year periods, as applicable.

Distribution of Discretionary Incentive Compensation

Discretionary incentive compensation is distributed to portfolio managers in a combination of cash and BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units which vest ratably over a number of years. The BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units, if properly vested, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Typically, the cash bonus, when combined with base salary, represents more than 60% of total compensation for the portfolio managers. Paying a portion of annual bonuses in stock puts compensation earned by a portfolio manager for a given year “at risk” based on BlackRock’s ability to sustain and improve its performance over future periods.

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

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

Options and Restricted Stock Awards — A portion of the annual compensation of certain employees is mandatorily deferred into BlackRock restricted stock units. Prior to the mandatory deferral into restricted stock units, BlackRock granted stock options to key employees, including certain portfolio managers who may still hold unexercised or unvested options. BlackRock, Inc. also granted restricted stock awards designed to reward certain key employees as an incentive to contribute to the long-term success of BlackRock. These awards vest over a period of years. Messrs. Callan and Carey have each been granted stock options and/or restricted stock in prior years.

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

Incentive Savings Plans — BlackRock, Inc. has created a variety of incentive savings plans in which BlackRock employees are eligible to participate, including a 401(k) plan, the BlackRock Retirement Savings Plan (RSP), and the BlackRock Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The employer contribution components of the RSP include a company match equal to 50% of the first 6% of eligible pay contributed to the plan capped at $4,000 per year, and a company retirement contribution equal to 3% of eligible compensation, plus an additional contribution of 2% for any year in which BlackRock has positive net operating income. The RSP offers a range of investment options, including registered investment companies managed by the firm. BlackRock contributions follow the investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or, absent employee investment direction, are invested into a balanced portfolio. The ESPP allows for investment in BlackRock common stock at a 5% discount on the fair market value of the stock on the purchase date. Annual participation in the ESPP is limited to the purchase of 1,000 shares or a dollar value of $25,000. Each portfolio manager is eligible to participate in these plans.
