The BlackRock Technology and Private Equity Term Trust (BTX) currently offers a 7.4% dividend yield while experiencing a significant total NAV return of 43.8% over the past year. This fund capitalizes on the ongoing volatility in the semiconductor sector, which has seen the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) drop 9% from its yearly high amid profit-taking and investor uncertainty.
Despite recent market concerns, semiconductor demand remains robust, exemplified by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s (TSMC) reported 67.9% year-over-year sales growth for June. Notably, stocks like NVIDIA and Micron, which are part of BTX’s holdings, have maintained strong sales performance, positioning the fund to benefit from potential market recoveries while providing a consistent dividend payout.
As of now, BTX trades at a 13.7% discount to NAV, presenting an attractive buying opportunity for investors looking for growth in the tech sector amid ongoing AI advancements.
