BlackRock Energy and Resources Trust (NYSE: BGR) is a closed-end management investment company primarily focused on providing shareholders with total return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income. Since its inception in December 1989, the trust has invested in a diversified portfolio of equity securities issued by companies operating in the energy and natural resources sectors. The trust seeks to offer investors broad exposure to businesses involved in the exploration, production, processing and distribution of energy and related raw materials.
The trust’s portfolio typically includes investments in oil and gas exploration and production companies, integrated energy firms, midstream pipeline operators, refiners and oilfield services providers. It also allocates capital to firms active in coal, metals and mining, chemicals and alternative energy sources. By drawing on BlackRock’s global research capabilities, the trust is able to identify opportunities across multiple subsectors and geographies, helping to balance exposure among cyclicality, yield and growth potential within the energy complex.
Managed by a team of seasoned investment professionals at BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, the trust leverages decades of sector-specific expertise. The portfolio management team employs both bottom-up company analysis and top-down industry research to construct a portfolio that aims to navigate shifting commodity cycles and evolving regulatory environments. Risk management tools such as options and futures may be used to enhance income and mitigate downside volatility.
Although the trust maintains a significant allocation to North American issuers, it also pursues global opportunities in Europe, Asia and emerging markets where energy demand dynamics and resource endowments offer attractive long-term potential. Oversight is provided by an independent board of trustees, and day-to-day investment decisions are executed by portfolio managers with deep sector knowledge and a commitment to disciplined, research-driven investing.
