Shareholder Letter |
Dear Shareholder,
Markets have remained highly attuned to potential changes in U.S. monetary policy over the past year. This was markedly evident one year ago in May of 2013 when then-Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke first mentioned the possibility of reducing (or tapering) the central banks asset purchase programs comments that were widely misinterpreted as signaling an end to the Feds zero-interest-rate policy. U.S. Treasury yields rose sharply following his comments, triggering a steep sell-off across fixed income markets. (Bond prices move in the opposite direction of yields.) Global equities also suffered as investors feared the implications of a potential end to a program that had greatly supported stocks. Emerging markets, which are more sensitive to changes in global liquidity, were especially hurt by the prospect of ebbing cash flows from the United States. Markets broadly rebounded in late June, however, when the Feds tone turned more dovish. At the same time, improving economic indicators and better corporate earnings helped extend gains through most of the summer.
Although the tone of economic and financial news was mixed last autumn, it was a surprisingly positive period for most asset classes. Early on, the Fed defied market expectations with its decision to delay tapering, but higher volatility returned in late September 2013 when the U.S. Treasury Department warned that the national debt would soon breach its statutory maximum. The ensuing political brinksmanship led to a partial government shutdown, roiling global financial markets through the first half of October. Equities and other so-called risk assets managed to resume their rally when politicians finally engineered a compromise to reopen the government and extend the debt ceiling.
The remainder of 2013 was a generally positive period for stock markets in the developed world, although investors continued to grapple with uncertainty about when and how much the Fed would scale back on stimulus. When the Fed ultimately announced its tapering plans in mid-December, markets reacted positively, as this action signaled the Feds perception of real improvement in the economy, and investors were finally released from the anxiety that had gripped them for quite some time.
The start of the new year brought a stark change in sentiment. Heightened volatility in emerging markets driven by reduced global liquidity, severe currency weakness, high levels of debt and uneven growth combined with mixed U.S. economic data caused global equities to weaken in January while bond markets found renewed strength from investors seeking relatively safer assets. Although these headwinds persisted, equities were back on the rise in February as investors were encouraged by a one-year extension of the U.S. debt ceiling and market-friendly comments from new Fed Chair Janet Yellen. While U.S. economic data had softened, investors were assuaged by increasing evidence that this was a temporary trend resulting from harsher-than-usual winter weather.
In the final months of the period, signs of decelerating growth in China and geopolitical tensions in Russia and Ukraine made for a bumpy ride, but markets continued their climb as investors focused on improving U.S. economic data, stronger corporate earnings and a still-dovish central bank. Within developed markets, investors shifted from growth to value stocks as the strong performance of growth stocks in 2013 had pushed valuations higher in many of these sectors. Emerging markets also benefited from this broad rotation into cheaper valuations and were further supported by an improving growth outlook for a number of developing countries.
Even though investors were gearing up for a modest shift toward tighter monetary policy from the Fed, equity markets in the developed world posted solid gains for the six- and 12-month periods ended April 30. Emerging markets, however, experienced increased volatility amid heightened risks for the asset class. Interest rate uncertainty posed a headwind for fixed income assets, and higher-quality sectors of the market performed poorly over the reporting period. Conversely, high yield bonds benefited from income-oriented investors search for yield in the overall low-rate environment. Short-term interest rates remained near zero, keeping yields on money market securities close to historic lows.
At BlackRock, we believe investors need to think globally, extend their scope across a broad array of asset classes and be prepared to move freely as market conditions change over time. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and visit www.blackrock.com for further insight about investing in todays world.
Sincerely,
Rob Kapito
President, BlackRock Advisors, LLC
In a modest global growth environment, expectations around monetary policy changes continued to be a key theme in financial market performance. |

Municipal Market Overview |
For the Reporting Period Ended April 30, 2014
From April 30, 2013 to April 30, 2014, muni yields increased by 65
basis points (bps) from 2.84% to 3.49% on AAA-rated 30-year municipal bonds, while increasing 61 bps from 1.69% to 2.30% on 10-year bonds
and rising another 49 bps from 0.74% to 1.23% on 5-year issues (as measured by Thomson Municipal Market Data). Overall, the municipal yield curve
remained relatively steep over the 12-month period as the spread between 2- and 30-year maturities widened by 59 bps and the spread between 2- and
10-year maturities widened by 55 bps. The Trusts may invest in various derivative financial instruments,
including financial futures contracts, as specified in Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage.
Such derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, index and/or market without owning or taking physical custody of
securities or to hedge market and/or interest rate risks. Derivative financial instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between
the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the
derivative financial instrument. The Trusts ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment
advisors ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may
result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require a Trust to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune times or for
distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation a Trust can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders and/or
may cause a Trust to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Trusts investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the
Notes to Financial Statements. Trust Overview Performance Trust Information

Trust Summary as of April 30, 2014
BlackRock Investment
Quality Municipal Trust Inc.
For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2014, the Trust returned
(1.28)% based on market price and 0.41% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged)
category posted an average return of (5.00)% based on market price and (0.78)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or
distributions. The Trusts discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and
performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.
The Trust benefited from income generated from coupon payments on
its municipal bond holdings. Exposure to corporate and health care credits contributed positively to returns as these sectors were among the better
performing during the period. Exposure to the transportation sector also had a positive impact. While the tobacco sector broadly underperformed the
market, the Trusts select tobacco holdings added to performance.
As interest rates moved sharply higher early in the period, the
Trusts long duration (high sensitivity to interest rate movements) was the most significant detractor from performance. (Bond prices fall when
rates rise.) Concentrated exposure on the long-end of the yield curve was detrimental as rates increased more in the long-end than in the short-end of
the curve. The Trusts exposure to local tax-backed issues also had a negative impact on returns. In the beginning of the period, the Trusts
exposure to Puerto Rico government-related credits, although limited, was a detractor from results as credit spreads on these bonds widened materially
due to investors lack of confidence and a weak local economy. The Trust sold its exposure to these securities early in the period.

BlackRock Long-Term
Municipal Advantage Trust
For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2014, the Trust returned
(3.17)% based on market price and 0.28% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged)
category posted an average return of (5.00)% based on market price and (0.78)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or
distributions. The Trusts discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and
performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.
During a period in which interest rates increased in earlier half
and declined in the latter half, the additional income afforded by the Trusts use of leverage, a persistently low cost of borrowing and the
Trusts emphasis on credit exposure helped mitigate much of the market-related volatility. The Trust benefited from holding unrated as well as low
investment grade and non-investment grade bonds, which exhibited superior performance compared to higher quality investment grade bonds during the
period. The Trusts concentrations in project finance, development district, tobacco, utilities and health care bonds also had a positive impact
on results.
As interest rates moved sharply higher early in the period, the
Trusts duration exposure (sensitivity to interest rate movements) was the most significant detractor from performance. (Bond prices fall when
rates rise.) The Trusts state and local tax-backed and transportation holdings generally produced slightly negative returns for the period. In

BlackRock Municipal 2020
Term Trust
For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2014, the Trust returned
4.91% based on market price and 1.17% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category posted an
average return of (1.95)% based on market price and 0.41% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions. The Trust
moved from a discount to NAV to a premium by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on
NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.
The Trust benefited from income generated from coupon payments on
its municipal bond holdings.
The largest detractor from performance was the Trusts
duration exposure (sensitivity to interest rate movements) as tax-exempt municipal rates increased significantly during the first half of the period.
(Bond prices fall when rates rise.) However, the Trust is managed to a 2020 maturity date and therefore generally maintains a shorter maturity profile
than its Lipper category competitors, which was an advantage to the Trust as rates increased more on the long end of the yield curve. In the beginning
of the period, the Trusts exposure to Puerto Rico government-related credits, although limited, was a detractor from results as credit spreads on
these bonds widened materially due to investors lack of confidence and a weak local economy. The Trust sold its exposure to these securities
early in the period.

BlackRock Pennsylvania
Strategic Municipal Trust
For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2014, the Trust returned
(8.64)% based on market price and (2.24)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Pennsylvania Municipal Debt Funds category posted an
average return of (2.81)% based on market price and (0.76)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions. The
Trusts discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on
NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.
The largest detractor from performance was the Trusts
duration exposure (sensitivity to interest rate movements) as tax-exempt municipal rates increased significantly during the first half of the period.
(Bond prices fall when rates rise.) During the second half of the period, however, intermediate and long-term rates fell, resulting in less significant
rate increases for the overall annual period. The Trusts exposure to the long-end of the yield curve also detracted from performance, especially
in the first half of the period when shorter rates (two to five years) rose less than long rates (twenty years and longer). In the beginning of the
period, the Trusts exposure to Puerto Rico government-related credits, although limited, was a detractor from results as credit spreads on these
bonds widened materially due to investors lack of confidence and a weak local economy. The Trust sold its exposure to these securities early in
the period.
The Trust benefited from income generated from coupon payments on

Trust Summary as of April 30, 2014
BlackRock Strategic
Municipal Trust
For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2014, the Trust returned
(4.99)% based on market price and (0.94)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds
(Leveraged) category posted an average return of (5.00)% based on market price and (0.78)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends
and/or distributions. The Trusts discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price
and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.
As interest rates moved sharply higher early in the period, the
Trusts duration exposure (sensitivity to interest rate movements) was the most significant detractor from performance. (Bond prices fall when
rates rise.) The Trusts state and local tax-backed and transportation holdings generally produced negative returns for the period. In the
beginning of the period, the Trusts exposure to Puerto Rico government-related credits, although limited, was a detractor from results as credit
spreads on these bonds widened materially due to investors lack of confidence and a weak local economy. The Trust sold its exposure to these
securities during the period. Additionally, the Trusts holdings of various higher quality investment grade bonds generated modestly negative
returns.
During a period in which interest rates increased in earlier half
and declined in the latter half, the additional income afforded by the Trusts use of leverage, a persistently low cost of borrowing and the
Trusts emphasis on credit exposure helped mitigate much of the market-related volatility. The Trust benefited from holding unrated as well as low
investment grade and non-investment grade bonds, which exhibited superior performance compared to higher quality investment grade bonds during the
period. The Trusts concentrations in utilities, education, tobacco and corporate-related debt also had a positive impact on results.
1
Yield on closing market price is calculated by dividing the
current annualized distribution per share by the closing market price. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
2
Tax equivalent yield assumes the maximum marginal federal tax rate
of 43.4%, which includes the 3.8% Medicare tax. Actual tax rates will vary based on income, exemptions and deductions. Lower taxes will result in lower
tax equivalent yields.
3
The distribution rate is not constant and is subject to
change.

| Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial
instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement
purposes as follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to
access |
|||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active,
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for
the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or
other market-corroborated inputs) |
|||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available
(including the Trusts own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair
value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |
||||
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In
accordance with the Trusts policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of
the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the
pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing
in those securities. For information about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please
refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

hierarchy as of April 30, 2014: |

| Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial
instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement
purposes as follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to
access |
|||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active,
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for
the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or
other market-corroborated inputs) |
|||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available
(including the Trusts own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair
value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |
||||
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In
accordance with the Trusts policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of
the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the
pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing
in those securities. For information about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please
refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

| Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments. These inputs to valuation
techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement purposes as follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to
access |
|||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active,
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for
the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or
other market-corroborated inputs) |
|||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available
(including the Trusts own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments) |
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair
value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In
accordance with the Trusts policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of
the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments is based on the pricing transparency of the investment
and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For information about the Trusts policy
regarding valuation of investments, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

| Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial
instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement
purposes as follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to
access |
|||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active,
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for
the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or
other market-corroborated inputs) |
|||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available
(including the Trusts own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair
value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |
||||
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In
accordance with the Trusts policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of
the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the
pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing
in those securities. For information about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please
refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

| For Trust compliance purposes, the Trusts sector classifications refer to any one or more of the sector sub-classifications
used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, and/or as defined by the investment advisor. These definitions may not
apply for purposes of this report, which may combine such sector sub-classifications for reporting ease. |
|||
| Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial
instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement
purposes as follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the
ability to access |
|||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets
that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and
default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs) |
|||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are
not available (including the Trusts own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial
instruments) |
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair
value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |
||||
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In
accordance with the Trusts policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of
the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the
pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing
in those securities. For information about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please
refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

| Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial
instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement
purposes as follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to
access |
|||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active,
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for
the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or
other market-corroborated inputs) |
|||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available
(including the Trusts own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair
value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |
||||
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In
accordance with the Trusts policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of
the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the
pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing
in those securities. For information about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please
refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

hierarchy as of April 30, 2014: |

facility over the liquidation proceeds (the Liquidation
Shortfall). If a Trust invests in a TOB on a recourse basis, the Trust will typically enter into a reimbursement agreement with the Liquidity
Provider where the Trust is required to repay the Liquidity Provider the amount of any Liquidation Shortfall. As a result, a Trust investing in
recourse TOB will bear the risk of loss with respect to any Liquidation Shortfall. If multiple trusts participate in any such TOB, these losses will be
shared ratably, including the maximum potential amounts owed by Trusts at April 30, 2014, in proportion to their participation. The recourse TOB Trusts
are identified in the Schedules of Investments, including the maximum potential amounts owed by the Trusts at April 30, 2014.

3 | The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized gains were attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, amortization methods of premiums and discounts on fixed income securities, the accrual of income on securities in default, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/losses on certain futures contracts, the timing and recognition of partnership income, treatment of residual interests in tender option bond trusts and the deferral of compensation to Trustees. |
4 | The Trusts have elected to defer certain qualified late-year losses and recognize such losses in the year ending April 30, 2015. |

|
Item 2 – | Code of Ethics – The registrant (or the “Fund”) has adopted a code of ethics, as of the end of the period covered by this report, applicable to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. During the period covered by this report, there have been no amendments to or waivers granted under the code of ethics. A copy of the code of ethics is available without charge at www.blackrock.com. |
Item 3 – | Audit Committee Financial Expert – The registrant’s board of directors (the “board of directors”), has determined that (i) the registrant has the following audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee and (ii) each audit committee financial expert is independent: |
Michael Castellano | |
Frank J. Fabozzi | |
James T. Flynn | |
W. Carl Kester | |
Karen P. Robards | |
The registrant’s board of directors has determined that W. Carl Kester and Karen P. Robards qualify as financial experts pursuant to Item 3(c)(4) of Form N-CSR. | |
Prof. Kester has a thorough understanding of generally accepted accounting principles, financial statements and internal control over financial reporting as well as audit committee functions. Prof. Kester has been involved in providing valuation and other financial consulting services to corporate clients since 1978. Prof. Kester’s financial consulting services present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the registrant’s financial statements. | |
Ms. Robards has a thorough understanding of generally accepted accounting principles, financial statements and internal control over financial reporting as well as audit committee functions. Ms. Robards has been President of Robards & Company, a financial advisory firm, since 1987. Ms. Robards was formerly an investment banker for more than 10 years where she was responsible for evaluating and assessing the performance of companies based on their financial results. Ms. Robards has over 30 years of experience analyzing financial statements. She also is a member of the audit committee of one publicly held company and a non-profit organization. | |
Under applicable securities laws, a person determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an “expert” for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or board of directors. |

3 Aggregate fees borne by BlackRock in connection with the review of compliance procedures and attestation thereto performed by D&T with respect to all of the registered closed-end funds and some of the registered open-end funds advised by BlackRock.
(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: | |
The Committee has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. Audit, audit-related and tax compliance services provided to the registrant on an annual basis require specific pre-approval by the Committee. The Committee also must approve other non-audit services provided to the registrant and those non-audit services provided to the Investment Adviser and Fund Service Providers that relate directly to the operations and the financial reporting of the registrant. Certain of these non-audit services that the Committee believes are (a) consistent with the SEC’s auditor independence rules and (b) routine and recurring services that will not impair the independence of the independent accountants may be approved by the Committee without consideration on a specific case-by-case basis (“general pre-approval”). The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Committee provides for a different period. Tax or other non-audit services provided to the registrant which have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the registrant will only be deemed pre-approved provided that any individual project does not exceed $10,000 attributable to the registrant or $50,000 per project. For this purpose, multiple projects will be aggregated to determine if they exceed the previously mentioned cost levels. | |
3 |
Any proposed services exceeding the pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Committee, as will any other services not subject to general pre-approval (e.g., unanticipated but permissible services). The Committee is informed of each service approved subject to general pre-approval at the next regularly scheduled in-person board meeting. At this meeting, an analysis of such services is presented to the Committee for ratification. The Committee may delegate to the Committee Chairman the authority to approve the provision of and fees for any specific engagement of permitted non-audit services, including services exceeding pre-approved cost levels. | |
(e)(2) None of the services described in each of Items 4(b) through (d) were approved by the Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception in paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. | |
(f) Not Applicable | |
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees paid to the accountant for services rendered by the accountant to the registrant, the Investment Adviser and the Fund Service Providers were: |
Entity Name | Current Fiscal Year End |
Previous Fiscal Year End |

BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust, Inc. | $6,600 | $6,600 |
Additionally, SSAE 16 Review (Formerly, SAS No. 70) fees for the current and previous fiscal years of $2,555,000 and $2,865,000, respectively, were billed by D&T to the Investment Adviser. | ||
(h) The Committee has considered and determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Investment Adviser, and the Fund Service Providers that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence. | ||
Item 5 – | Audit Committee of Listed Registrants | |
(a) | The following individuals are members of the registrant’s separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)): | |

(b) Not Applicable due to no such divestments during the semi-annual period covered since the previous Form N-CSR filing. | ||
Item 7 – | Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies – The board of directors has delegated the voting of proxies for the Fund’s portfolio securities to the Investment Adviser pursuant to the Investment Adviser’s proxy voting guidelines. Under these guidelines, the Investment Adviser will vote proxies related to Fund securities in the best interests of the Fund and its stockholders. From time to time, a vote may present a conflict between the interests of the Fund’s stockholders, on the one hand, and those of the Investment Adviser, or any affiliated person of the Fund or the Investment Adviser, on the other. In such event, provided that the Investment Adviser’s Equity Investment Policy Oversight Committee, or a sub-committee thereof (the “Oversight Committee”) is aware of the real or potential conflict or material non-routine matter and if the Oversight Committee does not reasonably believe it is able to follow its general voting guidelines (or if the particular proxy matter is not addressed in the guidelines) and vote impartially, the Oversight Committee may retain an independent fiduciary to advise the Oversight Committee on how to vote or to cast votes on behalf of the Investment Adviser’s clients. If the Investment Adviser determines not to retain an independent fiduciary, or does not desire to follow the advice of such independent fiduciary, the Oversight Committee shall determine how to vote the proxy after consulting with the Investment Adviser’s Portfolio Management Group and/or the Investment Adviser’s Legal and Compliance Department and concluding that the vote cast is in its client’s best interest notwithstanding the conflict. A copy of the Fund’s Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures are attached as Exhibit 99.PROXYPOL. Information on how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge, (i) at www.blackrock.com and (ii) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. | |

(iv) Potential Material Conflicts of Interest | |
BlackRock has built a professional working environment, firm-wide compliance culture and compliance procedures and systems designed to protect against potential incentives that may favor one account over another. BlackRock has adopted policies and procedures that address the allocation of investment opportunities, execution of portfolio transactions, personal trading by employees and other potential conflicts of interest that are designed to ensure that all client accounts are treated equitably over time. Nevertheless, BlackRock furnishes investment management and advisory services to numerous clients in addition to the Fund, and BlackRock may, consistent with applicable law, make investment recommendations to other clients or accounts (including accounts which are hedge funds or have performance or higher fees paid to BlackRock, or in which portfolio managers have a personal interest in the receipt of such fees), which may be the same as or different from those made to the Fund. In addition, BlackRock, Inc. its affiliates and significant shareholders and any officer, director, shareholder or employee may or may not have an interest in the securities whose purchase and sale BlackRock recommends to the Fund. BlackRock, Inc. or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders, or any officer, director, shareholder, employee or any member of their families may take different actions than those recommended to the Fund by BlackRock with respect to the same securities. Moreover, BlackRock may refrain from rendering any advice or services concerning securities of companies of which any of BlackRock, Inc.’s (or its affiliates’ or significant shareholders’) officers, directors or employees are directors or officers, or companies as to which BlackRock, Inc. or any of its affiliates or significant shareholders or the officers, directors and employees of any of them has any substantial economic interest or possesses material non-public information. Certain portfolio managers also may manage accounts whose investment strategies may at times be opposed to the strategy utilized for a fund. It should also be noted that a portfolio manager may be managing certain hedge fund and/or long only accounts, or may be part of a team managing certain hedge fund and/or long only accounts, subject to incentive fees. Such portfolio managers may therefore be entitled to receive a portion of any incentive fees earned on |
6 |
such accounts. Currently, the portfolio managers of this fund are not entitled to receive a portion of incentive fees of other accounts. | |
As a fiduciary, BlackRock owes a duty of loyalty to its clients and must treat each client fairly. When BlackRock purchases or sells securities for more than one account, the trades must be allocated in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties. BlackRock attempts to allocate investments in a fair and equitable manner among client accounts, with no account receiving preferential treatment. To this end, BlackRock, Inc. has adopted policies that are intended to ensure reasonable efficiency in client transactions and provide BlackRock with sufficient flexibility to allocate investments in a manner that is consistent with the particular investment discipline and client base, as appropriate. | |
(a)(3) As of April 30, 2014: | |
Portfolio Manager Compensation Overview | |
The discussion below describes the portfolio managers’ compensation as of April 30, 2014. | |
BlackRock’s financial arrangements with its portfolio managers, its competitive compensation and its career path emphasis at all levels reflect the value senior management places on key resources. Compensation may include a variety of components and may vary from year to year based on a number of factors. The principal components of compensation include a base salary, a performance-based discretionary bonus, participation in various benefits programs and one or more of the incentive compensation programs established by BlackRock. | |
Base compensation. Generally, portfolio managers receive base compensation based on their position with the firm. | |
Discretionary Incentive Compensation | |
Discretionary incentive compensation is a function of several components: the performance of BlackRock, Inc., the performance of the portfolio manager’s group within BlackRock, the investment performance, including risk-adjusted returns, of the firm’s assets under management or supervision by that portfolio manager relative to predetermined benchmarks, and the individual’s performance and contribution to the overall performance of these portfolios and BlackRock. In most cases, these benchmarks are the same as the benchmark or benchmarks against which the performance of the Funds or other accounts managed by the portfolio managers are measured. Among other things, BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officers make a subjective determination with respect to each portfolio manager’s compensation based on the performance of the Funds and other accounts managed by each portfolio manager relative to the various benchmarks. Performance of fixed income funds is measured on a pre-tax and/or after-tax basis over various time periods including 1-, 3- and 5- year periods, as applicable. With respect to these portfolio managers, such benchmarks for the Fund and other accounts are: a combination of market-based indices (e.g., Standard & Poor’s Municipal Bond Index), certain customized indices and certain fund industry peer groups. | |

Distribution of Discretionary Incentive Compensation. Discretionary incentive compensation is distributed to portfolio managers in a combination of cash and BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units which vest ratably over a number of years. For some portfolio managers, discretionary incentive compensation is also distributed in deferred cash awards that notionally track the returns of select BlackRock investment products they manage and that vest ratably over a number of years. The BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units, upon vesting, will be settled in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Typically, the cash portion of the discretionary incentive compensation, when combined with base salary, represents more than 60% of total compensation for the portfolio managers. Paying a portion of discretionary incentive compensation in BlackRock, Inc. stock puts compensation earned by a portfolio manager for a given year “at risk” based on BlackRock’s ability to sustain and improve its performance over future periods. Providing a portion of discretionary incentive compensation in deferred cash awards that notionally track the BlackRock investment products they manage provides direct alignment with investment product results. | |
Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards — From time to time long-term incentive equity awards are granted to certain key employees to aid in retention, align their interests with long-term shareholder interests and motivate performance. Equity awards are generally granted in the form of BlackRock, Inc. restricted stock units that, once vested, settle in BlackRock, Inc. common stock. Messrs. Jaeckel and O’Connor have unvested long-term incentive awards. | |
Deferred Compensation Program — A portion of the compensation paid to eligible United States-based BlackRock employees may be voluntarily deferred at their election for defined periods of time into an account that tracks the performance of certain of the firm’s investment products. Any portfolio manager who is either a managing director or director at BlackRock with compensation above a specified threshold is eligible to participate in the deferred compensation program. | |
Other compensation benefits. In addition to base salary and discretionary incentive compensation, portfolio managers may be eligible to receive or participate in one or more of the following: | |
Incentive Savings Plans — BlackRock, Inc. has created a variety of incentive savings plans in which BlackRock, Inc. employees are eligible to participate, including a 401(k) plan, the BlackRock Retirement Savings Plan (RSP), and the BlackRock Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The employer contribution components of the RSP include a company match equal to 50% of the first 8% of eligible pay contributed to the plan capped at $5,000 per year, and a company retirement contribution equal to 3-5% of eligible compensation up to the Internal Revenue Service limit ($260,000 for 2014). The RSP offers a range of investment options, including registered investment companies and collective investment funds managed by the firm. BlackRock, Inc. contributions follow the investment direction set by participants for their own contributions or, absent participant investment direction, are invested into a target date fund that corresponds to, or is closest to, the year in which the participant attains age 65. The ESPP allows for investment in BlackRock, Inc. common stock at a 5% discount on the fair market value of the stock on the purchase date. Annual participation in the ESPP is limited to the purchase of 1,000 shares of common stock or a dollar value of $25,000 based on its fair market value on the purchase date. All of the eligible portfolio managers are eligible to participate in these plans. | |
