BlackRock Limited Duration Income Trust (BLW) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

BlackRock Limited Duration Income Trust (NYSE: BLW) is a closed-end management investment company that seeks to provide shareholders with high current income while maintaining a low portfolio duration. The trust primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities and other fixed-income instruments. By focusing on limited-duration securities, BLW aims to reduce interest rate sensitivity relative to broad bond market benchmarks.

Launched in 2011, BLW is managed by a team of fixed-income specialists at BlackRock Advisors LLC, drawing on the firm’s global credit research capabilities and risk-management infrastructure. The fund may employ modest leverage to enhance income generation and distributes its net investment income on a monthly basis. Its disciplined investment process combines macroeconomic analysis with bottom-up security selection, targeting opportunities across corporate, agency and structured credit sectors.

While the portfolio is predominantly invested in U.S. dollar-denominated securities, the trust may selectively allocate to non-U.S. dollar issues to capture attractive relative value. Oversight is provided by an independent board of directors responsible for governance and compliance matters, ensuring alignment with shareholder interests. As part of the broader BlackRock platform, BLW benefits from extensive distribution channels and proprietary risk analytics to support its income-oriented strategy.
