Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Pursuant
to Section 17(g) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and
Rule
17g-1 thereunder, I hereby enclose for filing an amendment to the joint
fidelity
bond (the "Bond") of the BlackRock closed-end funds. This amendment
is
being
filed for the purpose of adding BlackRock Preferred and Equity
Advantage Trust
("BTZ")
(File No. 811-21972) to the coverage of the Bond.
Enclosed
herewith in accordance with Rule 17g-1 please find: (i) a copy of the
insurance
binder for the endorsement to the Bond adding BTZ, (ii)
a
copy of the
resolutions
adopted by the Board of Trustees of BTZ on November 21, 2006
with
respect
to these matters and (iii) a copy of the joint
insured
bond agreement
among
BTZ and the other BlackRock closed-end funds named
therein.
BTZ was added
to
the Bond
effective
December 27, 2006, and the Bond will
terminate
September 29,
2007.
In
connection
with this addition of BTZ to the Bond,
premiums
on the Bond
for
BTZ
have
been paid through September 29, 2007. Absent the
joint
fidelity bond,
BTZ
would
have maintained an individual fidelity bond of
$1,250,000.
Should
you have any questions regarding this filing, feel free to contact me at
(212)
810-3439.
Sincerely,
/s/

RESOLUTION
--------------
Joint
Fidelity Bond
-------------------
RESOLVED,
that the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined that
the
participation by the Trust and other funds, series or accounts managed by
the
Advisor in the joint fidelity bond which provides for equitable sharing
of
recoveries,
including payment of any reserve premiums, is in the best
interests
of the Trust; and further
RESOLVED,
that the agreement between the Trust and other funds,
series
or accounts managed by the Advisor to enter into the joint fidelity
bond
(the "Joint Insured Bond Agreement"), be, and it hereby is, adopted and
approved
substantially in the form previously approved and adopted by the
Board
of Trustees on behalf of the BlackRock Closed-End Funds, together with
such
changes and modifications as the officers of the Trust deem advisable;
and
further
RESOLVED,
that the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the
Trustees
who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the
Trust
or the Advisor, shall review such Joint Insured Bond Agreement at
least
annually
in
order to ascertain whether or not such policy continues to be in
the
best interests of the Trust, and whether or not the premiums to be paid by
the
Trust are fair and reasonable; and further
RESOLVED,
that in accordance with Rule 17g-1(h) under the 1940 Act,
the
Secretary of the Trust is hereby designated as the officer of the Trust
who
is authorized and directed to make the filings with the S
EC
and give the notices
required
by Rule 17g-1(g);
and
further
RESOLVED,
that the officers of the Trust be, and they hereby are,
authorized
and directed at all times to take all actions necessary to assure
compliance
with these resolutions and said Rule 17g-1.
THE
BLACKROCK CLOSED-END
TRUSTS
JOINT
INSURED BOND
AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT,
made as of this 27
th
day of December,
2006,
between the investment companies listed on Schedule A (each an "Insured"
and
together, the "Insureds") pursuant to Rule 17g-1(f) under the Investment
Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), relating to the Insureds' joint
insured bond (the "Bond").
The
undersigned hereby consent to additional closed-end investment companies
advised
by BlackRock Advisors, LLC or its affiliates being named as additional
Insureds
under the Bond and this Agreement, and an officer of the BlackRock Closed-End
Trusts shall periodically revise Schedule A to reflect any such
additions. The Secretary of the BlackRock Closed-End
Trusts or his or her designee may maintain the official version of Schedule
A,
as it may be revised from time to time pursuant to this Agreement, in electronic
format.
The
undersigned hereby agree that in the event
recovery is received under the Bond as a result of a loss sustained by one
or
more of the Insureds, each Insured entitled to share in such recovery shall
receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery, and in all
such
events such share of the recovery shall be an amount that is at least equal
to
the amount which it would have received had it maintained a single insured
bond
with the minimum coverage required by Rule 17g-1(d) under the 1940
Act.
By
and on
behalf of each of the Insureds
