BST: High Tech, High Yield, High Risk

  • The BlackRock Science and Technology Trust is a unique fund that offers investors access to high-tech, high-risk firms alongside a slew of private market investments. The fund employs a covered call overlay, generating income in excess of 8% p.a., and manages its distributions so that they are consistent and reliable. Investors need to consider the significant risks with the fund, such as the way its managers intentionally obfuscate the fund's private market holdings.
