BIT: Revisiting This Former Holding

  • BlackRock Multi-Sector Income Trust is now heavily overweight U.S. high yield, with over 75% sub-investment grade exposure and short duration. The fund delivered middle-of-the-pack performance versus peers over the past year, with leverage and asset mix helping to normalize returns. BIT currently trades near net asset value, with a typical premium/discount range of -6% to +6%, indicating fair valuation in the current market.
