About BlackRock Utilities, Infrastructure & Power Opportunities Trust
Financial Services · NYSE
BlackRock Utilities, Infrastructure & Power Opportunities Trust (BUI) is a closed-end management investment company that seeks total return through a combination of current income and long-term capital appreciation. The trust invests in equity securities of companies engaged in utilities, infrastructure and power-related business segments around the world, and it uses an options-writing strategy that includes selling call and put options.
The fund's stated investment policy is to invest, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of total assets in equity securities issued by companies in the utilities, infrastructure and power opportunities areas. This focus gives the trust exposure to businesses tied to electric power, energy infrastructure, regulated and non-regulated utility activity, and related global infrastructure investment themes.
BUI trades on the New York Stock Exchange as a closed-end fund. Unlike an open-end mutual fund, a closed-end fund has common shares that trade in the secondary market, and its market price may differ from net asset value. The trust may raise capital through common-share issuance and shareholder rights offerings, and its fund-level economics are tied to portfolio income, capital appreciation or depreciation, option premiums, expenses, distributions and changes in net asset value.
The trust is part of the BlackRock closed-end fund complex and is managed as an investment vehicle rather than as an operating business with products or services sold to customers. Its reference identity is defined by its portfolio mandate, closed-end structure, common shares, distribution activity and capital actions related to the fund.
