Description: BUI BlackRock Utility December 26, 2025

BlackRock Utility, Infrastructure & Power Opportunities Trust (NYSE:BUI) is a closed-ended equity fund launched in 2011 and managed by BlackRock Advisors. It targets global public-equity exposure to utilities and infrastructure companies across a range of market capitalizations, and it supplements equity positions with derivatives-most notably option-writing strategies-to enhance income.

Key quantitative points (as of FY 2023) include a trailing dividend yield of roughly 7.5 % and a net asset value (NAV) per share of about $24, reflecting the fund’s emphasis on high-yield, regulated assets. The top holdings are concentrated in renewable-energy generators (e.g., NextEra Energy), transmission operators (e.g., American Tower) and water-services firms, aligning the portfolio with secular growth drivers such as the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act’s $370 billion infrastructure spend and the global shift toward decarbonized power generation.
