BlackRock Energy and Resources Income Trust

Marketing material. Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

The BlackRock Energy and Resources Income Trust aims to deliver an annual dividend alongside long-term capital growth by investing primarily in mining and metals companies.

Portfolio managers Tom Holl and Mark Hume focus on companies that are essential to the global economy, and providing materials for emerging technologies.

The portfolio is structured so that one-third is invested in stocks benefiting from eco-friendly energy and sustainability, with the remainder in traditional sectors.

This focus supports the worldwide shift towards a lower-carbon economy and offers exciting opportunities.

Tom and Mark look to invest in companies that supply key resources—from materials for wind turbines to lithium for electric vehicles—playing a vital role in the industries driving economic growth.

The portfolio spans various regions, ensuring a diverse and balanced exposure to key markets internationally.

This global reach allows the trust to capitalise on opportunities in both developed and emerging economies.

These fundamental sectors not only contribute to economic growth but also generate steady income, ensuring a robust foundation for long-term capital appreciation.

However, some tolerance for market uncertainty is important, as this sector can be volatile. For investors seeking a blend of income and growth, BlackRock Energy and Resources Income Trust remains an attractive option, offering exposure to the critical sectors driving worldwide economic development.
