"BTX generated strong gains in Q2 2025, returning 19.49% on NAV as tech sector fundamentals rebounded on the back of AI-driven earnings acceleration."
Executive Summary
During Q2 2025, the BlackRock Technology and Private Equity Term Trust (BTX) returned 19.49% on NAV and 21.73% on market price, tracking closely with its benchmark. The fund's performance was bolstered by a strong rebound in the technology sector and key holdings in AI-focused names such as NVIDIA, SK Hynix, and Spotify. Conversely, positions in Underdog Sports and Cloudflare detracted from relative performance. Private investments comprised 23% ($369 million) of the portfolio across 29 companies, continuing to face headwinds from high interest rates. To optimize strategy execution, the trust was recently renamed, the portfolio was shifted toward a higher large-cap weighting, and its status was changed to non-diversified.
