"BTX delivered a constructive 1.5% NAV return in Q4 2025, supported by key reallocation into the AI hardware and semiconductor stack and the elimination of its legacy options-writing strategy."
During the fourth quarter of 2025, the BlackRock Technology and Private Equity Term Trust (BTX) posted a 1.5% return on net asset value (NAV) and a 0.7% return on market price, outperforming its index benchmark. Structurally, the trust completed a key transition by removing its options-writing strategy to enhance unhedged exposure to secular growth. In the portfolio, management pivoted allocations toward core tech verticals—specifically hardware, semiconductors, internet platforms, and software—funded by trimming adjacent, lower-visibility services. Direct private investments accounted for 32.0% ($291 million) of the portfolio across 21 companies, including a new allocation to an AI-driven autonomous trucking firm. Looking ahead, BlackRock remains constructive on technology secular trends, placing a premium on companies showing clear AI monetization pathways and strong competitive moats.
