In other recent news, Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) has advised shareholders of the BlackRock ESG Allocation Term Trust to support nine out of ten incumbent board nominees. This recommendation also includes a stance against a proposal to terminate BlackRock as the investment adviser. ISS, a prominent independent proxy advisory firm, made this recommendation ahead of the Fund’s upcoming annual meeting. This move aligns with the earlier endorsement by Glass Lewis, another proxy advisory firm, which also supported all incumbent nominees and opposed the termination proposal. These developments are part of the ongoing discussions surrounding the management of the BlackRock ESG Allocation Term Trust.
