BlackRock American Income Trust - Update from QuotedData

27 February 2026

On the up

BlackRock American Income Trust (BRAI) has performed well both in absolute
terms and compared to its benchmark
(https://quoteddata.com/glossary/benchmark/) since our last update in November
2025. Although the strategy is still new, early results are promising.

BRAI uses a value index as its benchmark, so it holds fewer of the large
AI-focused US companies that dominate broader indices
(https://quoteddata.com/glossary/index/) . This has helped recently, as
investors are starting to question whether these companies can maintain their
high levels of investment and whether this investment can deliver decent
returns. As a result, interest is spreading to other areas of the market,
which benefits BRAI. However, as shown on page 4, the recent improvement in
the performance of value stocks compared to growth stocks is still quite small
by historical standards, suggesting there may be further room for value to
catch up.
