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

Exchange Symbol Amount Per Common Share
BDV $0.162500
BDJ $0.170000
BDT $0.162500

The fixed amounts distributed per share are subject to change at the discretion of each Trust’s Board. Under its Plan, each Trust will distribute all available investment income to its shareholders, consistent with its primary investment objectives and as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If sufficient investment income is not available on a quarterly basis, the Trusts will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return of capital to shareholders in order to maintain a level distribution. Each quarterly distribution to shareholders is expected to be at the fixed amount established by the Board, except for extraordinary distributions and potential distribution rate increases or decreases to enable the Trusts to comply with the distribution requirements imposed by the Code.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about each Trust’s investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Plan. Each Trust’s total return performance on net asset value is presented in its financial highlights table.

The Board may amend, suspend or terminate a Trust’s Plan without prior notice if it deems such actions to be in the best interests of the Trust or its shareholders. The suspension or termination of the Plan could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if the Trust’s stock is trading at or above net asset value) or widening an existing trading discount. The Trusts are subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on their ability to maintain level distributions. Examples of potential risks include, but are not limited to, economic downturns impacting the markets, decreased market volatility, companies suspending or decreasing corporate dividend distributions and changes in the Code. Please refer to each Trust’s prospectus for a more complete description of its risks.

Please refer to the Additional Information for a cumulative summary of the Section 19(a) notices for each Trust’s current fiscal period. Section 19(a) notices for the Trusts, as applicable, are available on the BlackRock website http:// www.blackrock.com.

2 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2011

Table of Contents

Dear Shareholder,

One year ago, the global economy appeared to solidly be in recovery mode and investors were optimistic as the US Federal Reserve launched its second round of quantitative easing. Stock markets rallied despite ongoing sovereign debt problems in Europe and inflationary pressures looming over emerging markets. Fixed income markets, however, saw yields move sharply upward (pushing prices down), especially on the long end of the historically steep yield curve. While high yield bonds benefited from the risk rally, most fixed income sectors declined in the fourth quarter of 2010. The tax-exempt municipal market faced additional headwinds as it became evident that the Build America Bond program would not be extended and municipal finance troubles burgeoned.

Early 2011 saw spikes of volatility as political turmoil swept across the Middle East/North Africa region and prices of oil and other commodities soared. Natural disasters in Japan disrupted industrial supply chains and concerns mounted regarding US debt and deficit issues. Nevertheless, equities generally performed well early in the year as investors chose to focus on the continuing stream of strong corporate earnings and positive economic data. Credit markets were surprisingly resilient in this environment and yields regained relative stability in 2011. The tax-exempt market saw relief from its headwinds and steadily recovered from its fourth-quarter lows. Equities, commodities and high yield bonds outpaced higher-quality assets as investors increased their risk tolerance.

However, the environment changed dramatically in the middle of the second quarter. Markets dropped sharply in May when fears mounted over the possibility of Greece defaulting on its debt, rekindling fears about the broader sovereign debt crisis. Concurrently, economic data signaled that the recovery had slowed in the United States and other developed nations. Confidence was further shaken by the prolonged debt ceiling debate in Washington, DC. On August 5th, Standard & Poor’s downgraded the US government’s credit rating and turmoil erupted in financial markets around the world. Extraordinary levels of volatility persisted in the months that followed as Greece teetered on the brink of default. Financial problems intensified in Italy and Spain and both countries faced credit rating downgrades. Debt worries spread to the core European nations of France and Germany, and the entire euro-zone banking system came under intense pressure. Late in the summer, economic data out of the United States and Europe grew increasingly bleak while China and other emerging economies began to show signs of slowing growth. By the end of the third quarter, equity markets had fallen nearly 20% from their April peak while safe-haven assets such as US Treasuries, gold and the Swiss franc skyrocketed.

October brought enough positive economic data to assuage fears of a double-dip recession in the United States and corporate earnings continued to be strong. Additionally, European policymakers demonstrated an increased willingness to unite in their struggle to resolve the region’s debt and banking crisis. These encouraging developments brought many investors back from the sidelines and risk assets rallied through the month, albeit with large daily swings as investor reactions to news from Europe vacillated between faith and skepticism.

Overall, lower-risk investments including US Treasuries, municipal securities and investment grade credits posted gains for the 6- and 12-month periods ended October 31, 2011. Risk assets, including equities and high yield debt, broadly declined over the six months; however, US stocks and high yield bonds remained in positive territory on a 12-month basis. Continued low short-term interest rates kept yields on money market securities near their all-time lows. While markets remain volatile and uncertainties abound, BlackRock remains dedicated to finding opportunities and managing risk in this environment.

Sincerely,

Rob Kapito

President, BlackRock Advisors, LLC

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2011 BlackRock Equity Dividend Trust

Trust Overview

Effective May 9, 2011, BlackRock Dividend Achievers TM Trust changed its name to BlackRock Equity Dividend Trust.

BlackRock Equity Dividend Trust’s (BDV) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income, capital gains and long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in dividend paying equities. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. The Trust utilizes an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance dividend yield.

The Board approved a change to the Trust’s non-fundamental investment policies during the period. Please refer to page 140 in the Additional Information section.

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

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

— For the 12 months ended October 31, 2011, the Trust returned (0.41)% based on market price and 8.33% based on net asset value (“NAV”). For the same period, the Russell 1000 ® Value Index returned 6.16%. 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 following discussion of relative performance based on NAV pertains to the Russell 1000 ® Value Index.

What factors influenced performance?

— The largest contributor to performance was the Trust’s option writing strategy, as relatively low volatility for the majority of the trailing 12 months benefited the collection of call premium. The Trust’s underweight position and strong stock selection in financials added significantly to performance as well. Underweight positions in the diversified financial services and capital markets industries proved beneficial as the largest US retail and investment banks struggled amid more rigorous regulatory oversight and continued deleveraging. Stock selection in information technology and consumer discretionary also added to performance. High-quality, consistent dividend growers in the technology space proved particularly beneficial as International Business Machines Corp. and Microsoft Corp. continued to gain valuable market share. In consumer discretionary, VF Corp. delivered significant outperformance as a result of the firm’s acquisition of The Timberland Co.

— Stock selection and the Trust’s underweight in the health care sector were the largest detractors from relative performance during the period, as the Trust’s holdings in the pharmaceuticals industry rallied less sharply than did the health care providers & services stocks represented in the Russell 1000 ® Value Index. Stock selection in consumer staples, particularly in household products, hindered returns. In materials, an overweight in metals & mining detracted from performance as the industry declined amid recent fears of slowing global growth. Stock selection in energy and an underweight in information technology (“IT”) modestly detracted from performance as well during the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

— Trust management continues to focus on dividend-paying stocks that are exhibiting strong earnings growth, have globally diverse revenue streams and have offered excellent dividend growth and sustainability over time.

These companies are typically operating in the lowest quartile of production cost and are industry leaders that have the advantage of being able to market top-selling brands. Amid recent equity market volatility, stock correlations have elevated to all-time highs. Equity markets have focused more on the macroeconomic backdrop than on individual company fundamentals, which has provided Trust management the opportunity to increase the quality of the portfolio.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

— Consistent with the Trust’s long-term investment objective, the portfolio is positioned to continue to generate current income while producing market-equivalent or better total returns from a portfolio of higher-quality stocks. Equity markets remain remarkably volatile as macroeconomic headwinds involving Europe’s debt crisis, partisan politics, high rates of unemployment and the general uncertainty regarding a sustainable economic recovery continue to leave investors uneasy. Despite these concerns, the companies held in the portfolio continue to report strong earnings and remain optimistic, although cautious, about their prospects for growth in the future. This is a result of cleaner balance sheets, lower debt levels and the ability of companies to operate with higher degrees of efficiency. However, the combination of high sovereign debt levels and increasing austerity measures should serve to keep a lid on global growth rates in the near term. Earnings-per-share growth was quite strong coming out of the most recent recession (i.e., since 2009), but Trust management expects to see a moderation in earnings growth rates going forward. Management believes that a defensive stance is warranted in a world of extraordinary volatility and ongoing global macroeconomic concerns. The equity income asset class is an attractive option for investors who seek relative protection and require income. In the current environment, management will continue to place less of an emphasis on cyclical companies and exhibit a higher level of commitment to firms that have a proven ability to do well in all stages of an economic cycle.

— On September 12, 2011, the Board approved a plan of reorganization, subject to shareholder approval and certain other conditions, whereby BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust will acquire substantially all of the assets and assume certain stated liabilities of the Trust in exchange for newly issued shares of BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust.

The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market, economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2011 BlackRock Strategic Equity Dividend Trust

Trust Overview

Effective May 9, 2011, BlackRock Strategic Dividend Achievers TM Trust changed its name to BlackRock Strategic Equity Dividend Trust.

BlackRock Strategic Equity Dividend Trust’s (BDT) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in common stocks of small to mid-capitalization issuers that pay above average dividends and have the potential for capital appreciation. The Trust invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets invested in small- and mid-capitalization companies, as defined by the Russell Mid Cap Index. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. The Trust utilizes an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance dividend yield.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

— For the 12 months ended October 31, 2011, the Trust returned 4.14% based on market price and 8.31% based on NAV. For the same period, the Russell Mid Cap ® Index returned 7.85%. 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 following discussion of relative performance based on NAV pertains to the Russell Mid Cap ® Index.

What factors influenced performance?

— The largest contributor to performance was the Trust’s option writing strategy, as relatively low volatility for the majority of the trailing 12 months benefited the collection of call premium. Industry allocation in the utilities and IT sectors also benefited performance. In particular, an overweight in the gas utilities industry boosted returns, as did underweight positions in internet software & services and office electronics, as each of these IT industries suffered double-digit declines during the period. Stock selection within consumer discretionary and financials also added modestly to performance.

— Detracting from performance for the period was stock selection in the utilities sector, specifically within the multi-utilities and water utilities industries. The Trust’s underweight in the energy sector hurt relative performance. Zero exposure to oil, gas & consumable fuels stocks was particularly detrimental as the industry performed strongly during the period. Stock selection in industrials and materials also had a negative impact, as did an overweight in financials.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

— Trust management continues to focus on dividend-paying stocks that are exhibiting strong earnings growth, have globally diverse revenue streams and have offered excellent dividend growth and sustainability over time. Amid recent equity market volatility, stock correlations have elevated to all-time highs.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2011 BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust’s (BQR) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities issued by companies that are engaged in one or more of New Energy (e.g., products, technologies and services connected to the efficient use of energy or the provision or manufacture of alternative forms of energy), Water Resources and Agriculture business segments. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. The Trust utilizes an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance dividend yield.

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

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

— For the 12 months ended October 31, 2011, the Trust returned (18.45)% based on market price and (2.13)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Sector Equity Funds category posted an average return of 7.36% based on market price and 8.33% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust moved from a premium to NAV to a discount by period-end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

— Weakness in the portfolio predominantly came from the Trust’s allocation to renewable developers and manufacturers within the New Energy segment. These holdings have been challenged during the 12-month period by pricing pressures due to increased capacity from the Asian market.

— The strongest contribution to returns came from the Trust’s Water Resources segment. The segment benefited from heightened mergers & acquisitions (“M&A”) activity, including bids for both Nalco Holding Co. and Northumbrian Water Group Plc (and the latter being acquired). Positive performance also came from several US-based water utilities as investors sought out defensive, dividend-paying equities with improving fundamentals. The Trust also benefited from good performance by a

number of agricultural holdings, including Monsanto Co. and Syngenta AG. Agricultural stocks performed positively based an improved outlook from rising farm incomes. In addition, the Trust’s option-writing strategy had a positive impact on returns.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

— During the 12-month period, Trust management reduced the Trust’s exposure to the fertilizer sector in the Agriculture business segment. In New Energy, the team rotated the portfolio away from sub-sectors that are more dependent on government support, such as renewable developers and manufacturers, and increased the Trust’s weighting in energy efficiency companies. As of period end, the Trust’s cash and cash equivalents was 9%. Elevated cash levels, which positively contributed to performance, were due to near-term uncertainty over the market outlook.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

— At period end, the Trust held large positions in both the Agriculture business and Water Resources segments, as the outlook for these segments continues to look attractive. Improving profitability in agriculture should translate into increased spending on farming inputs. The water resources segment continues to look attractive as these strong dividend payers benefited from demand for yield coupled with increased M&A activity.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2011 BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust’s (BGR) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities of energy and natural resources companies and equity derivatives with exposure to the energy and natural resources industry.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

— For the 12 months ended October 31, 2011, the Trust returned 10.95% based on market price and 16.09% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Sector Equity Funds category posted an average return of 7.36% based on market price and 8.33% based on NAV. 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 following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

— The Trust’s holdings in oil & gas exploration & production were the largest contributors to returns. Performance benefited directly from BHP Billiton’s acquisition of Petrohawk Energy Corp., and several natural gas-oriented names including Range Resources Corp., Brigham Exploration Co., EQT Corp. and Cabot Oil & Gas Corp., which were able to add economically viable reserves in a depressed natural gas price environment. Contributing to performance during the period was the Trust’s allocation to the lower beta (less market-sensitive) oil & gas storage & transportation segment, which generally held up well given the market volatility and the macroeconomic-driven environment of the third quarter. Natural gas transmission name El Paso Corp. also performed particularly well. The Trust’s holdings in oil & gas equipment & services names contributed to returns, with National Oilwell Varco, Inc. and Core Laboratories NV notably strong. In addition, the Trust’s option-writing strategy had a positive impact on returns.

— Coal producers were among the worst performers in the broader market. Despite significant acquisition-related gains in Massey Energy Co., Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., James River Coal Co. and Peabody Energy Corp., these stocks had negative effects on returns.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

— Early in the 12-month period, Trust management added select natural gas-oriented holdings as these particular stocks lagged their more oil-oriented peers and offered attractive prices. In the second half of the period, the team continued adding to select natural gas positions amid further market weakness.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

— As of period end, the Trust continues to favor coal, oil and gas producers. The Trust’s largest concentrations are in oil & gas exploration & production, oil & gas equipment & services, coal & consumable fuels and oil & gas storage & transportation. From a fundamental standpoint, the team’s base case remains unchanged, and it believes that oil prices are supported above $90 per barrel. The possibility remains that prices will move higher in the coming years as spare capacity of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries continues to come out of the system. Chinese coal imports look poised to accelerate in the fourth quarter as inventory levels are extremely low. To the extent that 2010’s weather-related supply issues repeat themselves, Trust management would expect global prices to quickly accelerate to record levels. As a result, the team expects coal to be the leadership area of the sector as the market regains its footing.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2011 BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust’s (BOE) (the “Trust”) primary investment objective is to provide current income and current gains, with a secondary investment objective of long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in equity securities issued by companies located in countries throughout the world and utilizing an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance current gains. The Trust invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities or options on equity securities or indices or sectors of equity securities. Under normal circumstances, the Trust invests a substantial amount of its total assets in foreign issuers, issuers that primarily trade in a market located outside the United States or issuers that do a substantial amount of business outside the United States. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.

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

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

— For the 12 months ended October 31, 2011, the Trust returned (10.93)% based on market price and (2.55)% based on NAV. For the same period, the MSCI All Country World Index posted a return of 0.43%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust moved from a premium to NAV to a discount by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion of relative to performance based on NAV pertains to the MSCI All Country World Index.

What factors influenced performance?

— The largest relative underperformance came from the energy sector, with the Trust’s overweight position in coal producers and underweight in oil-related stocks detracting from performance. Coal producers consolidated previous gains, while the oil-related stocks re-rated on an unexpected increase in crack spreads (the differential between the price of crude oil and petroleum products extracted from it) early in 2011. Stock selection in financials had a negative impact as the Trust’s holdings of banks and exchange operators tied to the emerging markets underperformed as a result of inflationary pressures and tighter policy conditions. The Trust’s exposures to IT and materials also underperformed.

— Aiding returns was stock selection in the utilities sector and the Trust’s positions in industrials and consumer staples. From an allocation perspective, an underweight in financials was also a positive contributor during the 12-month period. In addition, the Trust’s option overwrites on approximately half of its portfolio holdings had a positive impact on returns.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

— In an effort to bring down the Trust’s overall economic sensitivity, exposures were paired back in the industrials and materials sectors. The proceeds from these transactions helped close the underweight position in the integrated oil & gas industry, as well as move the Trust to overweights in consumer staples and IT industry.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

— Trust management’s current strategy is similar to the one held in place earlier in 2011. The portfolio is positioned to have modest overweights/ underweights with economic sensitivities similar to that of the MSCI All Country World Index. As of period end, the Trust’s largest underweights were in the industrials and materials sectors, while the largest over-weights were in IT and consumer staples.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

— For the 12 months ended October 31, 2011, the Trust returned 3.26% based on market price and 6.43% based on NAV. For the same period, the Russell 3000 Healthcare Index returned 10.06%. 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 following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

— Stock selection in the biotechnology, health care equipment, health care services and health care distributors were the largest detractors from performance relative to the Russell 3000 Healthcare Index. From an allocation perspective, the Trust’s overweight position in health care equipment & supplies hampered performance, as this was the worst-performing industry within the index.

— Key contributors to performance during the 12-month period were stock selection in the pharmaceuticals, health care facilities and life sciences tools & services. The Trust’s underweight exposure to pharmaceuticals was also beneficial, as the segment trailed the index’s return during the period. In addition, the Trust’s option overwrites on approximately one-third of its portfolio holdings had a positive impact on returns.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

— During the 12-month period, the Trust’s exposures to the health care providers & services and the health care equipment & supplies industries were reduced, with the proceeds going primarily to pharmaceuticals. Overall the Trust was positioned more defensively with less sensitivity to economic conditions.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

— At period end, the portfolio’s approximate allocation (and relative overweight/underweight) was 17% in medical devices (4% underweight), 17% in health care providers & services (4% underweight), 35% in pharmaceuticals (9% underweight) and 18% in biotechnology (4% overweight). The Trust’s cash and cash equivalents was elevated at period end due to the sale of several holdings prior to fiscal year end. In addition, the Trust typically holds cash as collateral for writing put options.

— Trust management holds a relatively neutral view on health care and recognizes the defensive characteristics of the sector in down markets, even if prices are somewhat muted due to near-term government budget cut fears and flat health care consumption in developed markets.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

— For the 12 months ended October 31, 2011, the Trust returned (14.07)% based on market price and (4.55)% based on NAV. For the same period, the benchmark MSCI All Country World Index ex-US returned (4.66)%. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust moved from a premium to NAV to a discount by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV pertains to the MSCI All Country World Index.

What factors influenced performance?

— Relative to the MSCI All Country World Index ex-US, stock selection in the industrials sector contributed to performance, as did the Trust’s positions in IT and consumer discretionary. From an allocation perspective, underweights in financials, materials and utilities were also positive contributors during the 12-month period. In addition, the Trust’s option overwrites on approximately half its portfolio holdings had a positive impact on returns.

— The largest relative underperformance came from the energy sector, with the Trust’s overweight position in coal producers and underweight in oil-related stocks detracting from performance. Coal producers consolidated previous gains, while the oil-related stocks re-rated on an unexpected

increase in crack spreads (the differential between the price of crude oil and petroleum products extracted from it) early in 2011. Despite being underweight in financials, stock selection was challenged within the sector. Banks and exchange operators tied to the emerging markets underperformed similar benchmark index holdings as a result of inflationary pressures and tighter policy conditions. The Trust’s exposure to telecommunication services also underperformed.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

— As Trust management aimed to reduce economic sensitivity, the Trust trimmed positions in the industrials and materials sectors. The Trust closed its underweight exposure to financials and gradually moved to a modest overweight. During the period, the Trust held cash for transactional liquidity and risk management purposes. The Trust’s cash and cash equivalents did not have a material impact on performance.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

— Trust management has reduced the economic cyclicality in the portfolio. To counterbalance this, new positions were initiated in IT, where there seems to be growth potential in mission-critical software companies and semiconductors. As of period end, the Trust is modestly overweight in the financials, IT and telecommunication services sectors, while the largest underweights are in materials, industrials and energy.

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

— For the 12 months ended October 31, 2011, the Trust returned (4.64)% based on market price and 0.58% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Sector Equity Funds category posted an average return of 7.36% based on market price and 8.33% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust moved from a premium to NAV to a discount by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

— The largest contribution to absolute returns was the Trust’s investment in the energy sector, particularly in oil & gas exploration & production, integrated oil & gas and oil & gas equipment & services. The Trust’s allocation to basic materials segment also benefited returns, especially in chemicals and machinery. In addition, the Trust’s option-writing strategy had a positive impact on returns.

— The Trust’s investment in the metals & mining segment was the largest source of weakness, particularly in diversified metals. However, the Trust’s investments in precious metals & minerals held up better in the volatile, macroeconomic environment that encompassed the majority of the 12-month period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

— Early in the 12-month period, Trust management added select natural gas-oriented holdings (within the energy sector) as these particular stocks lagged their more oil-oriented peers and offered attractive prices. In the second half of the period, the team continued adding to select natural gas positions amid further market weakness. The basic materials sector remained relatively unchanged. Additions were made to E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. and Cliffs Natural Resources, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2010 and International Paper Co. in the second quarter of 2011. The team initiated positions in two compelling gold companies during the period, IAMGOLD Corp. and Detour Gold Corp. Trust management also invested in Glencore International Plc, a major commodities marketer and producer which listed in May 2011. The Trust’s nickel exposure shifted during the period, with the sale of Minara Resources Ltd.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

— At period end, the Trust’s allocation to metals (41%) was biased toward diversified and base metals, and also had material exposure to gold and other precious metals. Holdings in the energy sector (32%) were concentrated oil & gas exploration & production, coal producers, integrated oil & gas and oil & gas equipment & services names. In the basic materials sector (21%), the Trust had allocations to chemicals, machinery and paper & forest products.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2011 BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust’s (BCX) (the “Trust”) primary investment objective is to seek high current income and current gains, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Trust will seek to achieve its investment objectives, under normal market conditions, by investing at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities issued by commodity or natural resources companies, derivatives with exposure to commodity or natural resources companies or investments in securities and derivatives linked to the underlying price movement of commodities or natural resources. The Trust utilizes an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance dividend yield.

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

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

— For the period beginning with the Trust’s initial trading date of March 30, 2011 through October 31, 2011, the Trust returned (21.79)% based on market price and (7.80)% based on NAV. For the period of April 1, 2011 through October 31, 2011, the closed-end Lipper Sector Equity Funds category posted an average return of (6.39)% based on market price and (3.74)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust commenced operations on March 30, 2011 and ended the period with a discount to NAV, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.

What factors influenced performance?

— The Trust’s investments in metals & mining detracted the most from absolute returns. Negative performance was largely the result of volatile pricing in gold and other precious metals during the reporting period. In this environment, commodity-related equities were highly disconnected from the physical commodity prices, and equities generally underperformed spot prices. Oil & gas exploration & production names also detracted from returns, as select gas producers concentrated in the Bakken shale area suffered from weather-related events in the latter part of the period. Coal producers were among the worst performers in the broader market due to a negative macroeconomic environment, although underlying industry fundamentals continued to be strong. Despite significant acquisition-related gains in Massey Energy Co. and Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., both of these stocks had negative effects on returns as did James River Coal Co. and Peabody Energy Corp.

— Contributing to performance during the period was the Trust’s allocation to the lower beta (less market-sensitive) storage & transportation segment,

which generally held up well given the market volatility and the macroeconomic-driven environment of the third quarter. In addition, the Trust’s option-writing strategy had a positive impact on returns.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

— During the first three months of the Trust’s investment history, Trust management invested cash cautiously in order to take advantage of market weakness. The team expected a period of consolidation in energy and resources after a prolonged period of gains. As macroeconomic concerns began to pressure global equity markets lower, the pullback in cyclical sectors like energy and materials combined with severe fluctuations in the commodities market to make the team feel more constructive about the durability of the commodity cycle. Trust management expected many of the headwinds facing the group to lessen during the period and valuations to improve as stocks sold off, offering good entry points.

Describe portfolio positioning at period end.

— At the end of the period, the Trust’s allocation to energy (41)% was mostly concentrated in oil & gas exploration & production and storage & transportation. In materials (50)%, the Trust held a concentration in fertilizers & agricultural chemicals and was biased toward gold and other precious metals.

— At period end, the Trust had cash and cash equivalents of 13% due to the team’s cautious approach to investing proceeds since the Trust’s inception. Trust management continues to deploy the cash and remains focused on gaining attractive entry points to names, as this is consistent with the Trust’s longer-term investment approach. The Trust’s cash position had a positive impact on performance for the period.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2011 BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust

Trust Overview

BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust’s (BQY) (the “Trust”) investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in equity securities of issuers that pay above-average dividends and have the potential for capital appreciation. The Trust invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities included in the S&P Quality Rankings that are ranked at least B+ by S&P at the time of investment. Under normal circumstances, the Trust invests a substantial amount of its total assets in foreign issuers, issuers that primarily trade in a market located outside the United States or issuers that do a substantial amount of business outside the United States. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives. The Trust utilizes an option writing (selling) strategy to enhance dividend yield.

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

Portfolio Management Commentary

How did the Trust perform?

— For the 12 months ended October 31, 2011, the Trust returned (0.40)% based on market price and 2.79% based on NAV. For the same period, the MSCI World Value Index returned 0.37%. 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 following discussion of relative performance based on NAV pertains to the MSCI World Value Index.

What factors influenced performance?

— The largest contributor to performance was the Trust’s option writing strategy, as relatively low volatility for the majority of the trailing 12 months benefited the collection of call premium. Strong stock selection in utilities contributed positively to relative returns as the Trust’s holdings in electric utilities and multi-utilities outperformed utilities names represented in the MSCI World Value Index, including Japanese utilities which declined sharply after the Fukushima nuclear disaster. In addition, an overweight to consumer staples and an underweight to financials boosted relative returns.

— Detracting from performance was stock selection in the industrials sector, where the Trust’s holdings in machinery and electrical equipment suffered double-digit declines during the period. Stock selection and an underweight in energy also detracted from returns. Specifically, the Trust’s holdings of international diversified oil stocks underperformed the US diversified oil stocks represented in the MSCI World Value Index. Stock selection in financials, information technology and telecommunication services also negatively impacted performance during the period.

Describe recent portfolio activity.

— During the 12-month period, there were relatively few changes made to the strategic direction of the Trust. However, Trust management continues

to focus on companies that have globally diverse revenue streams and strong earnings growth potential.

Describe Trust positioning at period end.

— Consistent with the Trust’s long-term objective, the portfolio is positioned to continue to generate current income while producing market-equivalent or better total returns from a portfolio of higher-quality stocks. Equity markets remain remarkably volatile as macroeconomic headwinds involving Europe’s debt crisis, partisan politics, high rates of unemployment and the general uncertainty regarding a sustainable economic recovery continue to leave investors uneasy. Despite these concerns, the companies held in the portfolio continue to report strong earnings and remain optimistic, although cautious, about their prospects for growth in the future. However, the combination of high sovereign debt levels and increasing austerity measures should serve to keep a lid on global growth rates in the near term. Earnings-per-share growth was quite strong coming out of the most recent recession (i.e., since 2009), but Trust management expects to see a moderation in earnings growth rates going forward. Management believes that a defensive stance is warranted in a world of extraordinary volatility and ongoing global macroeconomic concerns. In the current environment, management will continue to place less of an emphasis on cyclical companies and exhibit a higher level of commitment to firms that have a proven ability to do well in all stages of an economic cycle.

— For tax planning purposes, the Trust recently sold securities and retained the cash proceeds which resulted in the Trust holding cash and cash equivalents of 13% at period end. During the 12-month period, cash averaged 9% of the portfolio, which had a slightly negative impact on the Trust’s relative performance.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Trusts may invest in various derivative financial instruments, including foreign currency exchange contracts and options as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking physical custody of securities or to hedge market, equity, and/or foreign currency exchange rate risks. Derivative financial instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the derivative financial instrument. The

Trusts’ ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment advisor’s ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require a Trust to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation a Trust can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders or may cause a Trust to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Trusts’ investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

Schedule of Investments (concluded) BlackRock Equity Dividend Trust (BDV)

— Fair Value Measurements – Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

— Level 1 - unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

— Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

— Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trust’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of October 31, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

— Fair Value Measurements – Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

— Level 1 - unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

— Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

— Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trust’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of October 31, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

Schedule of Investments (concluded) BlackRock Strategic Equity Dividend Trust (BDT)

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

— Fair Value Measurements – Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

— Level 1 - unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

— Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

— Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trust’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of October 31, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

— For Trust compliance purposes, the Trust’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Trust management. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

— Fair Value Measurements – Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

— Level 1 - unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

— Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

— Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trust’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

— Fair Value Measurements – Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

— Level 1 - unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

— Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

— Level 3 – unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trust’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The following tables summarize the inputs used as of October 31, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

— Level 1 - unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

— Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

— Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

— Level 1 - unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

— Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

— Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trust’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Currency Purchased — AUD 37,000 USD 39,594 Counterparty — Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. 11/02/11 $ (600 )

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

— Fair Value Measurements – Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

— Level 1 - unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

— Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

— Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trust’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of October 31, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

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

— Fair Value Measurements – Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

— Level 1 - unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

— Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

— Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trust’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of October 31, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

— Fair Value Measurements – Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments. These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows:

— Level 1 - unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets and liabilities

— Level 2 - other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)

— Level 3 - unobservable inputs based on the best information available In the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Trust’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Trust’s perceived risk of investing in those securities. For information about the Trust’s policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of October 31, 2011 in determining the fair valuation of the Trust’s investments and derivative financial instruments:

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Equity Dividend Trust (“BDV”)(formerly BlackRock Dividend Achievers TM Trust), BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust (“BDJ”)(formerly BlackRock Enhanced Dividend Achievers TM Trust), BlackRock Strategic Equity Dividend Trust (“BDT”)(formerly BlackRock Strategic Dividend Achievers TM Trust), BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust (“BQR”), BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust (“BGR”) BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust (“BOE”), BlackRock Health Sciences Trust (“BME”), BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust (“BGY”), BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust (“BCF”), BlackRock Resources & Commodities Strategy Trust (“BCX”) and BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust (“BQY”) (each, a “Trust” and collectively, the “Trusts”) are organized as Delaware statutory trusts. BDV, BDJ, BDT, BOE and BQY are registered as diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). BQR, BGR, BME, BGY, BCF and BCX are registered as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies under the 1940 Act. Prior to commencement of operations on March 30, 2011, BCX had no operations other than those relating to organizational matters and the sale of 6,964 Common Shares on February 11, 2011 to BlackRock HoldCo 2, Inc. for $100,012. Investment operations for BCX commenced on March 30, 2011. The Trusts’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Trusts determine and make available for publication the NAV of their shares on a daily basis.

Reorganizations: On September 12, 2011, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved a plan of reorganization, subject to shareholder approval and certain other conditions, whereby BDJ will acquire substantially all of the assets and assume certain stated liabilities of BDV and BDT in exchange for newly issued shares of BDJ.

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

Basis of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements of BCX include the accounts of BlackRock Cayman Resources & Commodities Strategy Fund, Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly owned subsidiary of BCX, which primarily invests in commodity-related instruments. The Subsidiary allows BCX to hold these commodity-related instruments and still satisfy Regulated Investment Company tax requirements. BCX may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment policies and restrictions that apply to BCX.

Valuation: US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Trusts would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Trusts fair value their financial instruments at market value using

independent dealers or pricing services under policies approved by the Board. Equity investments traded on a recognized securities exchange or the NASDAQ Global Market System (“NASDAQ”) 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. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

The Trusts value their investments in BlackRock Liquidity Series, LLC Money Market Series (the “Money Market Series”) at fair value, which is ordinarily based upon each Trust’s pro rata ownership in the underlying fund’s net assets. The Money Market Series seeks current income consistent with maintaining liquidity and preserving capital. Although the Money Market Series is not registered under the 1940 Act, its investments will follow the parameters of investments by a money market fund that is subject to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. The Trusts may withdraw up to 25% of their investment daily, although the manager of the Money Market Series, in its sole discretion, may permit an investor to withdraw more than 25% on any one day.

Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars using exchange rates determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and ask prices and are determined as of the close of business on the NYSE. Interpolated values are derived when the settlement date of the contract is an interim date for which quotations are not available.

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

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the market value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued in accordance with a policy approved by the Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that each Trust might reasonably expect to

ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2011 115

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

receive from the current sale of that asset in an arm’s-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subsequently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.

Generally, trading in foreign instruments is substantially completed each day at various times prior to the close of business on the NYSE.

Occasionally, events affecting the values of such instruments may occur between the foreign market close and the close of business on the NYSE that may not be reflected in the computation of each Trust’s net assets. If events (for example, a company announcement, market volatility or a natural disaster) occur during such periods that are expected to materially affect the value of such instruments, those instruments may be Fair Value Assets and be valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the investment advisor using a pricing service and/or policies approved by the Board. Each business day, each Trust uses a pricing service to assist with the valuation of certain foreign exchange-traded equity securities and foreign exchange-traded and OTC options (the “Systematic Fair Value Price”). Using current market factors, the Systematic Fair Value Price is designed to value such foreign securities and foreign options at fair value as of the close of business on the NYSE, which follows the close of the local markets.

Foreign Currency Transactions: Each Trust’s books and records are maintained in US dollars. Purchases and sales of investment securities are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date the transactions are entered into. Generally, when the US dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, the Trust’s investments denominated in that currency will lose value because its currency is worth fewer US dollars; the opposite effect occurs if the US dollar falls in relative value.

The Trusts do not isolate the portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of investments held or sold for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments are not segregated on the Statements of Operations from the effects of changes in market prices of those investments but are included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments. Each Trust reports realized currency gains (losses) on foreign currency related transactions as components of net realized gain (loss) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Segregation and Collateralization: In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that a Trust either delivers collateral or segregates assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., foreign currency exchange contracts or options written), each Trust will, consistent with SEC rules and/or certain interpretive letters issued by the SEC, segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or liquid securities having a market value at least equal to the amount that would otherwise be required to be physically segregated. Furthermore, based on

requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, each party to such transactions has requirements to deliver/deposit securities as collateral for certain investments.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are subsequently recorded when a Trust is informed of the ex-dividend date. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax at various rates may be imposed on capital gains, dividends and interest. 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, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends and distributions paid by the Trusts are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Subject to each Trust’s level distribution plan, a Trust intends to make quarterly cash dividends and/or distributions to shareholders, which may consist of net investment income, net options premium and net realized and unrealized gains on investments. The portion of dividends and distributions that exceeds a Trust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which are measured on a tax basis, may be treated as a tax return of capital. The character of dividends and distributions is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.

Securities Lending: The Trusts may lend securities to approved borrowers, such as banks, brokers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges cash, securities issued or guaranteed by the US government or irrevocable letters of credit issued by a bank 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 Trust on the next business day. Securities lending income, as disclosed in the Statements of Operations, represents the income earned from the investment of the cash collateral, net of rebates paid to, or fees paid by, borrowers and less the fees paid to the securities lending agent. During the term of the loan, the Trusts earn dividends or interest income on the securities loaned but do not receive dividend or interest income on the securities received as collateral. 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. In the event that the borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities because of insolvency or for any other reason, the Trusts could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Trusts also could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an

116 ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2011

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received. During the period ended October 31, 2011, participating Trusts accepted only cash collateral in connection with securities loaned.

Income Taxes: It is the Trusts’ policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The Trusts file US federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the Trusts’ US federal tax returns remains open for each of the four years ended October 31, 2011 with the exception of BCX. The statute of limitations on BCX’s US federal tax returns remains open for the period ended October 31, 2011. The statutes of limitations on each Trust’s state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

Dividend Achievers Universe: BDV, BDJ and BDT had been granted a revocable license by Indxis, Inc. (“Indxis”) to use the Dividend Achievers TM universe of common stocks. 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. “Indxis” and “Dividend Achievers TM ” are trademarks of Indxis and have been licensed for use by BDV, BDJ, and BDT. The products were not sponsored, endorsed, managed, sold or promoted by Indxis and Indxis made no representation regarding the advisability of investing in BDV, BDJ and BDT. BDV, BDJ and BDT are each required to pay a quarterly licensing fee, which is shown in the Statements of Operations as licensing. Effective May 9, 2011, the Dividend Achievers universe is no longer used by BDV, BDJ or BDT.

S&P Quality Rankings: BQY has been granted a license by Standard & Poor’s ® (“S&P”) to use the S&P Quality Rankings and the S&P International Quality Rankings. If S&P terminates BQY’s license to use either the S&P Quality Rankings or the S&P International Quality Rankings, the Board may need to adopt a new investment strategy and/ or new investment policies. There is no assurance that BQY 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 S&P and have been licensed for use by BQY. BQY is not sponsored, endorsed, managed, sold or promoted by S&P and S&P makes no representation regarding the availability of investing in BQY. BQY is required to pay a quarterly licensing fee, which is shown in the Statements of Operations as licensing.

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

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

Recent Accounting Standard: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which will require the following disclosures for fair value measurements categorized as Level 3: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the fair value measurement, a description of the valuation policies and procedures and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, the amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 will be required to be disclosed. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on each Trust’s financial statements and disclosures .

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

2. Derivative Financial Instruments:

The Trusts engage in various portfolio investment strategies using derivative contracts both to increase the returns of the Trusts and to economically hedge, or protect, their exposure to certain risks such as equity risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. These contracts may be contracted on an exchange or OTC.

Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The Trusts’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk

ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2011 117

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

on OTC derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral pledged by/posted to the counterparty. For OTC options purchased, the Trusts bear the risk of loss in the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral received on the options should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Trusts do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written obligate the Trusts to perform and not the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded options is deemed to be minimal due to the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which these contracts trade.

The Trusts’ mitigate counterparty risk by procuring collateral and through netting provisions included within an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) implemented between a Trust and each of its respective counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement allows each Trust to offset with each separate counterparty certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is generally based upon minimum transfer amounts of up to $500,000. To the extent amounts due to the Trusts from their counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Trusts bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. See Note 1 “Segregation and Collateralization” for information with respect to collateral practices. In addition, the Trusts manage counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Trusts’ net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Trusts fail to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Trusts to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Certain Trusts enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to obtain exposure to foreign currencies (foreign currency exchange rate risk). A foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. Foreign currency exchange contracts, when used by a Trust, help to manage the

overall exposure to the currencies in which some of the investments held by a Trust are denominated. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Trust as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a Trust records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The use of foreign currency exchange contracts involves the risk that the value of a foreign currency exchange contract changes unfavorably due to movements in the value of the referenced foreign currencies and the risk that a counterparty to the contract does not perform its obligations under the agreement.

Options: The Trusts purchase and write call and put options to increase or decrease their exposure to underlying instruments (including equity risk) and/or, in the case of options written, to generate gains from options premiums. A call option gives the purchaser (holder) of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller (writer) to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. When the Trust purchases (write) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by the Trust is reflected as an asset (liability). The amount of the asset (liability) is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased (written). When an instrument is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the instrument sold. When an option expires (or the Trust enters into a closing transaction), the Trust realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premiums received or paid). When the Trust writes a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that the Trust holds the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty. When the Trust writes a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.

In purchasing and writing options, a Trust bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Trusts may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Exercise of a written option could result in a Trust purchasing or selling a security at a price different from the current market value.

3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Due to the ownership structure, PNC is an affiliate for 1940 Act purposes, but Barclays is not.

Each Trust entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), the Trusts’ investment advisor, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BlackRock, to provide investment advisory and administration services. The Manager is responsible for the management of each Trust’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Trust.

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred by the Trust after October 31, 2011 will not be subject to expiration. In addition, any such losses must be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years.

6. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:

BOE and BQY invest a substantial amount of their assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. Please see the Schedules of Investments for concentrations in specific countries.

In the normal course of business, the Trusts invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Trusts may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Trusts; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Trusts may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Trusts have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Trusts manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Trusts to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of the Trusts’ exposure to market, issuer and counterparty credit risks with respect to these financial assets is generally approximated by their value recorded in the Trusts’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities, less any collateral held by the Trusts.

As of October 31, 2011, the Trusts listed below invest a significant portion of their assets in the following sectors:

Financials BDT
Materials BQR, BCF, BCX
Utilities BDT, BQR
Energy BGR, BCF, BCX
Health Care BME

Changes in economic conditions affecting these sectors would have a greater impact on these Trusts, and could affect the value, income and/or liquidity of positions in such securities.

As of October 31, 2011, the industry classifications of the Trusts’ long-term investments are listed below:

Industry — Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels 8 % 7 % 13 %
Commercial Banks 8 12 9
Pharmaceuticals 7 5 10

  • All other industries held were each less than 5%.

7. Capital Share Transactions:

There are an unlimited number of $0.001 par value common shares of beneficial interest authorized for each Trust. At October 31, 2011, 6,964 shares of BCX were owned by an affiliate of the Manager.

Transactions in common shares of beneficial interest for the period ended October 31, 2011 were as follows:

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the management of the Trusts and BCX. 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 and BCX 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’ and BCX’s 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, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian and counterparties; where replies were not received from counterparties, 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 respective financial positions of the Trusts and BCX as of October 31, 2011, the results of the operations for the Trusts for the year then ended and BCX for the period March 30, 2011 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2011, the changes in net assets for the Trusts for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2011, and BCX for the period March 30, 2011 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2011, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement

The Board of Trustees (each, a “Board,” collectively, the “Boards,” and the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of BlackRock Equity Dividend Trust (“BDV”), BlackRock Enhanced Equity Dividend Trust (“BDJ”), BlackRock Strategic Equity Dividend Trust (“BDT”), BlackRock EcoSolutions Investment Trust (“BQR”), BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust (“BGR”), BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust (“BOE”), BlackRock Health Sciences Trust (“BME”), BlackRock International Growth and Income Trust (“BGY”), BlackRock Real Asset Equity Trust (“BCF”) and BlackRock S&P Quality Rankings Global Equity Managed Trust (“BQY” and together with BDV, BDJ, BDT, BQR, BGR, BOE, BME, BGY and BCF, each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) met on April 14, 2011 and May 12-13, 2011 to consider the approval of each Fund’s investment advisory agreement (each, an “Advisory Agreement”) with BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”), each Fund’s investment advisor. Each Board also considered the approval of the sub-advisory agreement (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Manager and one of the following sub-advisors, as the case may be: BlackRock Financial Management, Inc.; State Street Research & Management Company; BlackRock Investment Management, LLC; BlackRock International Limited; and BlackRock Capital Management, Inc. (each, a “Sub-Advisor”), with respect to its respective Fund. The Manager and the Sub-Advisor are referred to herein as “BlackRock.” The Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to herein as the “Agreements.”

Activities and Composition of the Board

Each Board consists of eleven individuals, nine of whom are not “interested persons” of such Fund as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”). The Board Members 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 Board Members have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chairman of the Board is an Independent Board Member. Each Board has established five standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Governance and Nominating Committee, a Compliance Committee, a Performance Oversight Committee and an Executive Committee, each of which is composed of Independent Board Members (except for the Executive Committee, which also has one interested Board Member) and is chaired by an Independent Board Member. The Boards, together with the boards of other BlackRock-managed funds, also had established an ad hoc committee, the Joint Product Pricing Committee, which consisted of Independent Board Members and the directors/trustees of the boards of certain other BlackRock-managed funds, who were not “interested persons” of their respective funds.

The Agreements

Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Boards are required to consider the continuation of the Agreements on an annual basis. In connection with this process, the Boards assessed, among other things, the nature, scope and quality of the services provided to the Funds by BlackRock, its personnel and its affiliates, including investment management, administrative and shareholder services, oversight of fund accounting and custody, marketing services, risk oversight, compliance program and assistance in meeting applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

The Boards, acting directly and through their respective committees, considered at each of their meetings, and from time to time as appropriate, factors that are relevant to their annual consideration of the renewal of the Agreements, including the services and support provided by BlackRock to the Funds and their shareholders. Among the matters the Boards considered were: (a) investment performance for one-, three-and five-year periods, as applicable, against peer funds, and applicable benchmarks, if any, as well as senior management’s and portfolio managers’ analyses of the reasons for any over performance or underperformance against their peers and/or benchmark, as applicable; (b) fees, including advisory and other amounts paid to BlackRock and its affiliates by the Funds for services such as call center and fund accounting; (c) Fund operating expenses and how BlackRock allocates expenses to the Funds; (d) the resources devoted to, risk oversight of, and compliance reports relating to, implementation of the Funds’ investment objectives, policies and restrictions; (e) the Funds’ compliance with their Code of Ethics and other 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 and risk and compliance oversight mechanisms; (h) BlackRock’s implementation of the proxy voting policies approved by the Boards; (i) the use of brokerage commissions and execution quality of portfolio transactions; (j) BlackRock’s implementation of the Funds’ valuation and liquidity procedures; (k) analyses of contractual and actual management fee ratios for products with similar investment objectives across the open-end fund, closed-end fund and institutional account product channels, as applicable; (l) BlackRock’s compensation methodology for its investment professionals and the incentives it creates; and (m) periodic updates on BlackRock’s business.

Board Considerations in Approving the Agreements

The Approval Process: Prior to the April 14, 2011 meeting, the Boards requested and received materials specifically relating to the Agreements. The Boards are engaged in a process with BlackRock to review periodically the nature and scope of the information provided to better assist their deliberations. The materials provided in connection with the April meeting included (a) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) on Fund fees and expenses and the investment performance of the Funds as compared with their respective peer group of funds as determined by Lipper (“Peers”); (b) information on the profitability of the Agreements to BlackRock and a discussion of fall-out benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement

shareholders; (c) general analyses provided by BlackRock concerning investment management fees (a combination of the advisory fee and the administration fee, if any) charged to other clients, such as institutional clients and open-end funds, under similar investment mandates, as applicable; (d) the impact of economies of scale; (e) a summary of aggregate amounts paid by each Fund to BlackRock and (f) if applicable, a comparison of management fees to similar BlackRock closed-end funds, as classified by Lipper.

At an in-person meeting held on April 14, 2011, the Boards reviewed materials relating to their consideration of the Agreements. As a result of the discussions that occurred during the April 14, 2011 meeting, and as a culmination of the Boards’ year-long deliberative process, the Boards presented BlackRock with questions and requests for additional information. BlackRock responded to these requests with additional written information in advance of the May 12-13, 2011 Board meeting.

At an in-person meeting held on May 12-13, 2011, each Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and its Fund and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor with respect to its Fund, each for a one-year term ending June 30, 2012. In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Boards considered: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by BlackRock; (b) the investment performance of the Funds and BlackRock; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by BlackRock and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds; (d) economies of scale; (e) fall-out benefits to BlackRock as a result of its relationship with the Funds; and (f) other factors deemed relevant by the Board Members.

The Boards also considered other matters they deemed important to the approval process, such as services related to the valuation and pricing of Fund portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to BlackRock and its affiliates and significant shareholders from their relationship with Funds and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Boards’ review. The Boards noted the willingness of BlackRock personnel to engage in open, candid discussions with the Boards. The Boards did not identify any particular information as controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various items considered.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by BlackRock

The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided by BlackRock, including the investment advisory services and the resulting performance of the Funds. Throughout the year, the Boards compared Fund performance to the performance of a comparable group of closed-end funds and/or the performance of a relevant benchmark, if any. The Boards met with BlackRock’s senior management personnel responsible for investment operations, including the senior investment officers. Each Board also reviewed the materials provided by its Fund’s portfolio management

team discussing Fund performance and the Fund’s investment objective, strategies and outlook.

The Boards considered, among other factors, the number, education and experience of BlackRock’s investment personnel generally and their Funds’ portfolio management teams, investments by portfolio managers in the funds they manage, BlackRock’s portfolio trading capabilities, BlackRock’s use of technology, BlackRock’s commitment to compliance, BlackRock’s credit analysis capabilities, BlackRock’s risk analysis capabilities and BlackRock’s approach to training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel. The Boards engaged in a review of BlackRock’s compensation structure with respect to their Funds’ portfolio management teams and BlackRock’s ability to attract and retain high-quality talent and create performance incentives.

In addition to advisory services, the Boards considered the quality of the administrative and non-investment advisory services provided to the Funds. BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Funds with certain services (in addition to any such services provided to the Funds by third parties) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the Funds. In addition to investment advisory services, BlackRock and its affiliates provide the Funds with other services, including (i) preparing disclosure documents, such as the prospectus and the statement of additional information in connection with the initial public offering and periodic shareholder reports; (ii) preparing communications with analysts to support secondary market trading of the Funds; (iii) assisting with daily accounting and pricing; (iv) preparing periodic filings with regulators and stock exchanges; (v) overseeing and coordinating the activities of other service providers; (vi) organizing Board meetings and preparing the materials for such Board meetings; (vii) providing legal and compliance support; and (viii) performing other administrative functions necessary for the operation of the Funds, such as tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements and call center services. The Boards reviewed the structure and duties of BlackRock’s fund administration, accounting, legal and compliance departments and considered BlackRock’s policies and procedures for assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

B. The Investment Performance of the Funds and BlackRock

The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, also reviewed and considered the performance history of their Funds. In preparation for the April 14, 2011 meeting, the Boards worked with BlackRock and Lipper to develop a template for, and was provided with reports independently prepared by Lipper, which included a comprehensive analysis of each Fund’s performance. The Boards also reviewed a narrative and statistical analysis of the Lipper data that was prepared by BlackRock, which analyzed various factors that affect Lipper’s rankings. In connection with its review, each Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance, based on net asset value (NAV), of its Fund as compared to funds in that Fund’s applicable Lipper category. The Boards were provided with a description of the methodology used by Lipper to select peer funds. The Boards and each

Board’s Performance Oversight Committee regularly review, and meet with Fund management to discuss, the performance of the Funds throughout the year.

The Board of BQR noted that BQR performed below the median of its Lipper Performance Universe in each of the one-year, three-year and since-inception periods reported. The Board of BQR and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for BQR’s underperformance during these periods compared with its Peers. The Board of BQR was informed that, among other things, BQR’s new energy segment detracted from performance.

The Board of BDJ noted that BDJ performed below the median of its Lipper Performance Universe in the three- and five-year periods reported, but that BDJ performed at or above the median of its Lipper Performance Universe in the one-year period reported. The Board of BDJ and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for BDJ’s underperformance during the three- and five-year periods compared with its Peers. The Board of BDJ was informed that, over the three-year period an underweight position in energy combined with weak stock selection was the only notable detractor from performance. Over the five-year period the leading detractor was the energy sector, as an underweight position and weak stock selection detracted from relative performance.

The Board of BGY noted that BGY performed below the median of its Lipper Performance Universe in each of the one-year, three-year and since-inception periods reported. The Board of BGY and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for BGY’s underperformance during these periods compared with its Peers. The Board of BGY was informed that, among other things, there is a material difference in investment mandates amongst the Peers. Though BGY did underperform the constructed peer group, the predominance of the stronger-performing U.S. exposure held by the vast majority of Peers explains most, if not all, of the performance differential.

The Board of BQY noted that BQY performed below the median of its Lipper Performance Universe in the one- and three-year periods reported, but that BQY performed at or above the median of its Lipper Performance Universe in the five-year period reported. The Board of BQY and BlackRock reviewed and discussed the reasons for BQY’s underperformance during the one- and three-year periods compared with its Peers. The Board of BQY was informed that, among other things, over the one-year period stock selection in energy and consumer discretionary sectors detracted from relative performance.

The Board of each of BQR, BDJ, BGY and BQY and BlackRock discussed BlackRock’s strategy for improving its respective Fund’s performance and BlackRock’s commitment to providing the resources necessary to assist the Fund’s portfolio managers and to improve the Fund’s performance.

The Board of each of BGR and BDT noted that, in general, its respective Fund performed better than its Peers in that the Fund’s performance was at or above the median of its Lipper Performance Universe in each of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported.

The Board of each of BDV, BOE and BME noted that, in general, its respective Fund performed better than its Peers in that the Fund’s performance was at or above the median of its Lipper Performance Universe in two of the one-, three- and five-year periods reported.

The Board of BCF noted that, in general, BCF performed better than its Peers in that BCF’s performance was at or above the median of its Lipper Performance Universe in two of the one-year, three-year and since-inception periods reported.

The Boards noted that BlackRock has made changes to the organization of the overall equity group management structure designed to result in a strengthened leadership team.

C. Consideration of the Advisory/Management Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by BlackRock and its Affiliates from their Relationship with the Funds:

Each Board, including the Independent Board Members, reviewed its Fund’s contractual management fee ratio compared with the other funds in its Lipper category. It also compared the Fund’s total expense ratio, as well as actual management fee ratio, to those of other funds in its Lipper category. Each Board considered the services provided and the fees charged by BlackRock to other types of clients with similar investment mandates, including separately managed institutional accounts.

The Boards received and reviewed statements relating to BlackRock’s financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided the Funds. The Boards were also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by BlackRock for services provided to the Funds. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to the Funds and other funds the Boards currently oversee for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to available aggregate profitability data provided for the years ended December 31, 2009, and December 31, 2008. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s profitability with respect to other fund complexes managed by the Manager and/or its affiliates. The Boards reviewed BlackRock’s assumptions and methodology of allocating expenses in the profitability analysis, noting the inherent limitations in allocating costs among various advisory products. The Boards recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Manager, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and the difficulty of comparing profitability as a result of those factors.

ANNUAL REPORT OCTOBER 31, 2011 131

Table of Contents

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement

The Boards noted that, in general, individual fund or product line profitability of other advisors is not publicly available. The Boards considered BlackRock’s overall operating margin, in general, compared to the operating margin for leading investment management firms whose operations include advising closed-end funds, among other product types. That data indicates that operating margins for BlackRock, in general and with respect to its registered funds, are generally consistent with margins earned by similarly situated publicly traded competitors. In addition, the Boards considered, among other things, certain third party data comparing BlackRock’s operating margin with that of other publicly-traded asset management firms. That third party data indicates that larger asset bases do not, in themselves, translate to higher profit margins.

In addition, the Boards considered the cost of the services provided to the Funds by BlackRock, and BlackRock’s and its affiliates’ profits relating to the management of the Funds and the other funds advised by BlackRock and its affiliates. As part of its analysis, the Boards reviewed BlackRock’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Funds. The Boards also considered whether BlackRock has the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality of services that is expected by the Boards.

The Board of each of BQR, BDJ, BDV, BOE, BME, BGY, BQY and BDT noted that its respective Fund’s contractual management fee ratio (a combination of the advisory fee and the administration fee, if any) was lower than or equal to the median contractual management fee ratio paid by the Fund’s Peers, in each case before taking into account any expense reimbursements or fee waivers.

The Board of BGR noted that BGR’s contractual management fee ratio (a combination of the advisory fee and the administration fee, if any) was above the median contractual management fee ratio paid by BGR’s Peers, in each case before taking into account any expense reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board of BGR also noted, however, that BGR’s actual management fee ratio, after giving effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers by BlackRock, was lower than or equal to the median actual management fee ratio paid by BGR’s Peers, after giving effect to any expense reimbursements or fee waivers.

The Board of BCF noted that BCF’s contractual management fee ratio (a combination of the advisory fee and the administration fee, if any) was above the median contractual management fee ratio paid by BCF’s Peers, in each case before taking into account any expense reimbursements or fee waivers. The Board of BCF also noted, however, that BCF’s contractual management fee ratio was reasonable relative to the median contractual management fee ratio paid by BCF’s Peers.

D. Economies of Scale

Each Board, including the Independent Board Members, considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the assets of its Fund increase. Each Board also considered the extent to which its Fund benefits from such economies and whether there should be changes in the advisory fee rate or structure in order to enable the Fund to participate in these economies of scale, for example through the use of breakpoints in the advisory fee based upon the asset level of the Fund. Based on the ad hoc Joint Product Pricing Committee’s and each Board’s review and consideration of this issue, each Board concluded that closed-end funds are typically priced at scale at a fund’s inception; therefore, the implementation of breakpoints was not necessary.

The Boards noted that most closed-end funds do not have fund level breakpoints because closed-end funds generally do not experience substantial growth after the initial public offering. The Boards noted that only one closed-end fund in the Fund Complex has breakpoints in its advisory fee structure.

E. Other Factors Deemed Relevant by the Board Members

The Boards, including the Independent Board Members, also took into account other ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that BlackRock or its affiliates and significant shareholders may derive from their respective relationships with the Funds, both tangible and intangible, such as BlackRock’s ability to leverage its investment professionals who manage other portfolios and risk management personnel, an increase in BlackRock’s profile in the investment advisory community, and the engagement of BlackRock’s affiliates as service providers to the Funds, including securities lending services. The Boards also considered BlackRock’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and improve the quality of, its operations. The Boards also noted that BlackRock may use and benefit from third party research obtained by soft dollars generated by certain registered fund transactions to assist in managing all or a number of its other client accounts. The Boards further noted that BlackRock’s funds may invest in affiliated ETFs without any offset against the management fees payable by the funds to BlackRock.

In connection with its consideration of the Agreements, the Boards also received information regarding BlackRock’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Boards received reports from BlackRock which included information on brokerage commissions and trade execution practices throughout the year.

The Boards noted the competitive nature of the closed-end fund marketplace and that shareholders are able to sell their Fund shares in the secondary market if they believe that the Fund’s fees and expenses are too high or if they are dissatisfied with the performance of the Fund.

Disclosure of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (concluded)

Conclusion

Each Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Manager and its Fund for a one-year term ending June 30, 2012 and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor, with respect to its Fund, for a one-year term ending June 30, 2012. As part of its approval, each Board considered the detailed review of BlackRock’s fee structure, as it applies to its Fund, conducted by the ad hoc Joint Product Pricing Committee. Based upon its evaluation of all of the aforementioned factors in their totality, each Board, including the Independent Board Members, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of its Fund

and its shareholders. In arriving at its decision to approve the Agreements, no Board identified any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and different Board Members may have attributed different weights to the various factors considered. The Independent Board Members were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making these determinations. The contractual fee arrangements for the Funds reflect the results of several years of review by the Board Members and predecessor Board Members, and discussions between such Board Members (and predecessor Board Members) and BlackRock. As a result, the Board Members’ conclusions may be based in part on their consideration of these arrangements in prior years.

Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plans

Pursuant to each Trust’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Reinvestment Plan”), Common Shareholders are automatically enrolled, to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains reinvested by BNY Mellon Shareowner Services (the “Reinvestment Plan Agent”) in the respective Trust’s shares pursuant to the Reinvestment Plan. Shareholders who do not participate in the Reinvestment 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 Reinvestment Plan Agent, which serves as agent for the shareholders in administering the Reinvestment Plan.

After the Trusts declare a dividend or determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Reinvestment Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ account, depending upon the following circumstances, either (i) through receipt of unissued but authorized shares from the Trust (“newly issued shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares on the open market, on a Trust’s primary exchange (“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 Reinvestment Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in newly issued shares acquired 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 dividend payment date, the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the dividend payment date. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV is greater than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to herein as “market discount”), the Reinvestment Plan Agent will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases. If the Reinvestment Plan Agent is unable to invest the full dividend amount in open market purchases, or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Reinvestment Plan Agent will

invest any un-invested portion in newly issued shares. Investments in newly issued shares made in this manner would be made pursuant to the same process described above and the date of issue for such newly issued shares will substitute for the dividend payment date.

Participation in the Reinvestment Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Reinvestment Plan Agent prior to the dividend record date. Additionally, the Reinvestment Plan Agent seeks to process notices received after the record date but prior to the payable date and such notices often will become effective by the payable date. Where late notices are not processed by the applicable payable date, such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared dividend or other distribution.

The Reinvestment 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 Reinvestment 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 Reinvestment Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants in the Reinvestment Plan; however, each Trust reserves the right to amend the Reinvestment Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants. Participants that request a sale of shares through the BNY Mellon Shareowner Services are subject to a $0.02 per share sold brokerage commission. All correspondence concerning the Reinvestment Plan should be directed to the Reinvestment Plan Agent: BNY Mellon Share owner Services, P.O. Box 358035, Pittsburgh, PA 15252-8035; Telephone 1-866-216-0242.

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

General Information

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

Other than the revisions discussed in the Board approvals on page 136, there were no material changes in the Trusts’ investment objectives or policies or to the Trusts’ charters or by-laws that were not approved by the shareholders or in the principal risk factors associated with investment in the Trusts. There have been no changes in the persons who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Trusts’ portfolios.

Additional Information (continued)

Board Approval

BDV’s, BDJ’s, and BDT’s Boards each approved changes to certain non-fundamental investment objectives and policies employed by each Trust. As a result of these changes, the Trusts no longer use Indxis’s Dividend Achievers TM as the underlying universe for investment in equity securities. Pursuant to the new non-fundamental investment objectives and policies, effective May 9, 2011, each Trust broadened its investment guidelines to investing across the broader spectrum of dividend paying equities. Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Trust’s total assets will be invested in dividend paying equities. Also, for BDT, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Trust’s total assets will be invested in small- and mid-capitalization companies, as defined by the Russell Mid Cap Index. Similarly, the investment strategy described in the Trusts’ non-fundamental investment objectives or investment policies, as the case may be for each Trust, has been modified to remove reference to “above average” dividend paying equities.

The Board has taken this action as a consequence of recent market events, during which a number of companies reduced, suspended or failed to raise their dividends over the past several years, resulting in their exclusion from consideration as Dividend Achievers TM and reducing the number of available companies for purchase in the Trusts. Given the need to raise dividends for at least ten consecutive calendar years, such companies would be excluded from consideration as Dividend Achievers TM for the foreseeable future

In addition to the foregoing, the Board also approved changes to the Trusts’ restriction on other eligible investments. Previously, the Trusts were restricted to investing, under normal market conditions, no more than 20% of their total assets in equity securities that are not identified as Dividend Achievers TM by Indxis, Inc. In similar concept to the 80% policy change, the amended policy allows the Trusts to invest, under normal market conditions, up to 20% in equity securities of issuers that do not pay dividends.

Each Trust has also removed investment policies limiting the market cap, position size or number of holdings permitted in such Trust.

BDT has removed its policy that under current market conditions, BDT’s investment advisor and subadvisor will consider an issuer with a market capitalization ranking in the bottom 90% of the market capitalization of all issuers included in the Russell 3000 Index to be a small to mid-capitalization company. BDT will now invest at least 80% of its total assets in small to mid-capitalization companies, as defined by the Russell Mid Cap Index.

BDV and BDJ have each removed its policy limiting its maximum weighting of any individual issuer in its portfolio to 5% at the time of purchase. BDT has removed its policy limiting its investments under current market conditions to no more than (i) 2% of its total assets in mid-capitalization issuers; (ii) 1.5% of its total assets in any small/mid-capitalization issuer; and (iii) 0.5% of its total assets in any small capitalization issuer, at the time of purchase.

BDV and BDJ have each removed its policy limiting its portfolio to approximately 60 to 90 issuers from the top 100 highest yielding common stocks in the Dividend Achievers TM Universe. BDT has removed its policy limiting its portfolio to approximately 100 small to mid-capitalization companies included in the Russell 3000 Index.

Each Trust will remain subject to the fundamental investment restriction that such Trust may not invest 25% or more of the value of its total assets in any one industry or invest, with respect to 75% of its total assets, more than 5% of the value of its total assets in the securities of any single issuer or purchase more than 10% of the outstanding securities of any one issuer.

As disclosed in its prospectus, each Trust is required to provide shareholders 60 days notice of a change to its current non-fundamental policies described above. Accordingly, a notice describing the changes discussed above were mailed to shareholders of record as of March 9, 2011. No action is required by shareholders of the Trusts in connection with this change.

Upon the completion of the 60-day notice period, each Trust’s name changed to reflect this change in non-fundamental policy. Each Trust will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under its current ticker symbol even after the name change becomes effective.

Additional Information (concluded)

Dividend Policy

Each Trust’s dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of its net investment income to its shareholders on a quarterly basis. In order to provide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions, the Trusts may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in any particular quarter and may at times in any particular quarter pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to net investment income earned in that quarter. As a

result, the dividends paid by the Trusts for any particular quarter may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Trusts during such quarter. The Trusts’ current accumulated but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, which comprises part of the financial information included in this report.

Ms. Robards has a thorough understanding of generally accepted accounting principles, financial statements and internal control over financial reporting as well as audit committee functions. Ms. Robards has been President of Robards & Company, a financial advisory firm, since 1987.

Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors.

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

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 Investment Adviser and Fund 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 operations 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 per project. 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.,

4

Table of Contents

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 the Committee Chairman 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 Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not Applicable

(g) The aggregate non-audit fees paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrant, the Investment Adviser and the Fund Service Providers were:

| Entity Name | Current Fiscal
Year End | Previous Fiscal
Year End |
| --- | --- | --- |
| BlackRock Global Opportunities Equity Trust | $ 21,600 | $ 16,877 |

Additionally, SAS No. 70 fees for the current and previous fiscal years of $3,030,000 and $2,950,000, respectively, were billed by D&T to the Investment Adviser.

(h) The Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Investment Adviser, and the Fund Service Providers 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 5 – Audit Committee of Listed Registrants

(a) The following individuals are members of the registrant’s separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)):

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

(iv) Potential Material Conflicts of Interest

BlackRock has built a professional working environment, firm-wide compliance culture and compliance procedures and systems designed to protect against potential incentives that may favor one account over another. BlackRock has adopted policies and procedures that address the allocation of investment opportunities, execution of portfolio transactions, personal trading by employees and other potential conflicts of interest that are designed to ensure that all client accounts are treated equitably over time. Nevertheless, BlackRock furnishes investment management and advisory services to numerous clients in addition to the Fund, and BlackRock may, consistent with applicable law, make investment recommendations to other clients or accounts (including accounts which are hedge funds or have performance or higher fees paid to BlackRock, or in which portfolio managers have a personal interest in the receipt of such fees), which may be the same as or different from those made to the Fund. In addition, BlackRock, Inc., its affiliates and significant shareholders and any officer, director, shareholder or employee may or may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale BlackRock recommends to the Fund. BlackRock, Inc., or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders, or any officer, director, shareholder, 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, Inc.’s (or its affiliates’ or significant shareholders’) officers, directors or employees are directors or officers, or companies as to which BlackRock, Inc. or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders or the officers, directors and employees of any of them has any substantial economic interest or possesses material non-public information. Certain portfolio managers also may manage accounts whose investment strategies may at times be opposed to the strategy utilized for a fund. It should also be noted that a portfolio manager may be managing certain hedge fund and/or long only accounts, or may be part of a team managing certain hedge fund and/or long only accounts, subject to incentive fees. Such portfolio managers may therefore be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive fees earned on such accounts. Currently, the portfolio managers of this fund are not entitled to receive a portion of incentive fees of other accounts.

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

Table of Contents

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, Inc. has adopted policies that are intended to ensure 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, as appropriate.

(a)(3) As of October 31, 2011:

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-based discretionary bonus, participation in various benefits programs and one or more of the incentive compensation programs established by BlackRock.

Base compensation. Generally, portfolio managers receive base compensation based on their position with the firm.

Discretionary Incentive Compensation

Generally, discretionary incentive compensation for Active Equity portfolio managers is based on a formulaic compensation program. BlackRock’s formulaic portfolio manager compensation program is based on team revenue and pre-tax investment performance relative to appropriate competitors or benchmarks over 1-, 3- and 5-year performance periods, as applicable. In most cases, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the funds or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers determine the benchmarks or rankings against which the performance of funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio management team is compared and the period of time over which performance is evaluated. With respect to these portfolio managers, such benchmarks for the Fund and other accounts include the following:

Portfolio Manager Applicable Benchmarks
Thomas P. Callan Michael D. Carey Lipper Mid-Cap Core Funds, International Multi-Cap Core, and Global/Health/Biotechnology Funds Classification
Kyle McClements There are no benchmarks associated with Mr. McClements’ compensation.
Jean Rosenbaum Lipper Mid-Cap Core Funds Classification

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, technology and innovation. These factors are considered collectively by BlackRock management and the relevant Chief Investment Officers.

Distribution of Discretionary Incentive Compensation

8

Table of Contents

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. For some portfolio managers, discretionary incentive compensation is also distributed in deferred cash awards that notionally track the returns of select BlackRock investment products they manage and that vest ratably over a number of years. The BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units, upon vesting, 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. Providing a portion of annual bonuses in deferred cash awards that notionally track the BlackRock investment products they manage provides direct alignment with investment product results.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards – From time to time long-term incentive equity awards are granted to certain key employees to aid in retention, align their interests with long-term shareholder interests and motivate performance. Equity awards are generally granted in the form of BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units that, once vested, settle in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Messrs. Callan, Carey, McClements and Ms. Rosenbaum have each received long-term incentive awards.

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 various BlackRock investment options. Messrs. Callan, Carey, McClements and Ms. Rosenbaum have each participated in the deferred compensation program.

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, Inc. 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 8% of eligible pay contributed to the plan capped at $5,000 per year, and a company retirement contribution equal to 3-5% of eligible compensation. The RSP offers a range of investment options, including registered investment companies and collective investment funds managed by the firm. BlackRock, Inc. contributions follow the investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or, absent participant investment direction, are invested into an index target date fund that corresponds to, or is closest to, the year in which the participant attains age 65. The ESPP allows for investment in BlackRock, Inc. 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.
