[SCHEDULE 13G] BLACKROCK CORPORATE HIGH YIELD FUND INC. SEC Filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

On 06/30/2025 First Trust Portfolios L.P., First Trust Advisors L.P. and parent The Charger Corporation jointly filed a Schedule 13G reporting a passive position in BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund, Inc. (NYSE: HYT). The group beneficially owns 8,076,731 common shares, equal to 5.05 % of the fund’s outstanding stock, crossing the 5 % disclosure threshold.

The filers claim no sole voting power and only 1,309 shares of shared voting power; the remaining units are voted by trustees of the underlying unit investment trusts (UITs). They do, however, possess shared dispositive power over the full 8.1 million shares. Shares are distributed among multiple UITs and other investment vehicles sponsored or advised by the First Trust complex, with no single trust holding more than 3 % of HYT.

The disclosure is made under Rule 13d-1(b). Classifications are: Broker-Dealer (First Trust Portfolios), Investment Adviser (First Trust Advisors) and Holding Company (The Charger Corp.). The certification affirms the stake was acquired in the ordinary course and not for the purpose of influencing control of HYT.

Positive

• First Trust entities now own 5.05 % of HYT, adding a well-known institutional holder that may support trading liquidity.

Negative

• None.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR – Passive 5.05 % stake by First Trust signals modest institutional demand; limited voting rights reduce governance impact.

First Trust’s UIT-driven accumulation of 8.1 M HYT shares crosses the 5 % reporting line but remains largely passive. Shared voting on only 1,309 shares indicates negligible influence on corporate actions, while full shared dispositive authority allows portfolio rebalancing flexibility. For HYT investors, added institutional sponsorship can aid liquidity and support the fund’s market price relative to NAV, yet it does not materially alter control dynamics or dividend policy. Impact on valuation should therefore be modest and sentiment-driven.

Risk Analyst

TL;DR – Control risk low; potential liquidity risk if UITs redeem en masse.

Because the units reside in UITs with predetermined termination dates, future bulk redemptions could create selling pressure on HYT. However, the absence of voting control and the ordinary-course certification mitigate takeover or activism concerns. Overall risk profile unchanged; monitor UIT maturity schedules.

The Charger Corporation is the General Partner of both First Trust Portfolios L.P. and First Trust Advisors L.P.

The total number of shares of the issuer held by these unit investment trusts is set forth in Row (8) above with respect to First Trust Portfolios L.P.

Neither First Trust Portfolios L.P., First Trust Advisors L.P. nor The Charger Corporation have the power to vote the shares of the issuer held by these unit investment trusts sponsored by First Trust Portfolios L.P.

Subject to the requirements of Rule 12d1-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and as further explained in the Standard Terms and Conditions of Trust and related Trust Agreements of the unit investment trusts, First Trust Portfolios L.P., on behalf of the unit investment trusts, may enter into an agreement with a deposited fund which may permit the shares of such fund to be voted in the best interest of unit holders at the discretion of First Trust Portfolios L.P. The difference, if any, between the aggregate amount of shares beneficially owned by each reporting person, as set forth in Row (9) above, and the number of shares of the issuer held by the unit investment trusts sponsored by First Trust Portfolios L.P. represents shares of the issuer which are either held in other registered investment companies, pooled investment vehicles and/or separately managed accounts for which First Trust Advisors L.P. serves as investment advisor and/or investment sub-advisor. Each of First Trust Portfolios L.P., First Trust Advisors L.P. and The Charger Corporation disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of the issuer identified in this filing.
