BlackRock Technology Opportunities Fund

This fund commits at least 80% of its total assets to equity investments in technology-focused companies, encompassing both U.S. and international firms across all market capitalization sizes. These companies are chosen for their strong potential for rapid and sustainable growth, derived from their involvement in the development, advancement, or application of technology. The fund's geographic scope extends to businesses in both established and developing global markets. While its primary holdings are common stocks, the portfolio also has the flexibility to include preferred stock and convertible securities. Additionally, it may invest in Rule 144A securities, which are privately placed offerings typically acquired by qualified institutional buyers.
