BlackRock American Income Trust - Update note from QuotedData

14 September 2026

Gathering momentum

BlackRock American Income (BRAI) appears to be strengthening in its new form. Consistent outperformance of its benchmark and peers since April 2025's revamp is attracting investors, while strong returns are supporting higher dividends. The company is re-issuing shares and nearing a £200m market value. It could soon reach thresholds that attract larger wealth managers, potentially accelerating its growth, lowering average running costs and making its shares easier to trade.

As this note explains, recent benchmark rebalancing has refreshed BRAI's investment opportunities. Investors concerned about US share valuations may take comfort from its portfolio's substantial valuation discount to the wider US market. The manager remains convinced that BRAI's preference for value stocks - shares considered cheap relative to their underlying worth - will serve it well over the medium term.
