BlackRock Innovation and Growth Term Trust (BIGZ) The Trust’s investment objectives are to provide total return and income through a combination of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation. The Trust is not intended as, and you should not construe it to be, a complete investment program. There can be no assurance that the Trust’s investment objectives will be achieved or that the Trust’s investment program will be successful. The Trust’s investment objectives may be changed by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) without prior shareholder approval. In selecting investments for the Trust, BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Manager”) focuses on equity securities of mid- and small-capitalization growth companies that are “innovative.” These are companies that have introduced, or are seeking to introduce, a new product or service that potentially changes the marketplace. In evaluating innovative companies, the Manager seeks to identify, using its own internal research and analysis, companies capitalizing on innovation or that are enabling the further development of the theme of innovation in the markets in which they operate. Among other things, common criteria for innovative companies across industries may include developing new products, selling in new markets or channels, applying a new or superior technology to legacy industries, refining existing processes for efficiency, changing or pivoting business model, or creating tools that empower new breakthroughs.
