BlackRock Technology and Private Equity Term Trust maintains a hold rating due to ongoing performance and distribution sustainability concerns. BTX trades at a 14.64% discount to NAV and offers a 9.5% yield, but struggles to generate sufficient earnings for reliable payouts. The fund's heavy tech allocation, option writing strategy, and sensitivity to high-interest rates limit growth and increase risk.

While most of Wall Street focuses on large and mega-cap stocks, as they provide a degree of safety and liquidity, many investors are limited in the number of shares they can buy.

BTX offers a unique blend of technology-focused public and private equity exposure with a high 12.96% yield. The fund's underperformance versus peer CEFs is likely driven by challenges in pricing private equity holdings, which may not realize value until public exit or sale. Distributions are primarily return of capital and can vary from period to period, impacting tax planning and income stability, making BTX less suitable for investors seeking predictable income.

With the month of July closing out, we are once again seeing the broader equity markets pushing to new all-time highs. As we enter into new all-time highs, we appear to be looking quite stretched on valuations, and CEF discounts have been narrowing.

By now you've no doubt heard the argument that AI is a bubble, and there's no way Big Tech will make a significant profit from it, given the massive amounts of cash they've already piled in.
