Time To Sell The BlackRock Capital Allocation Term Trust Despite Its 22.75% Yield

  • BCAT's discount to NAV has dramatically narrowed, removing a key catalyst for further upside and making the fund less attractive for discount-driven investors.

A growing allocation to private (Level 3) investments introduces valuation and liquidity risks, which could pressure the discount if distributions outpace returns.
