BlackRock North American Income : BRNA

Sectors

Over the year to the end of October BRNA returned 17.1% in NAV terms and 16.5% in share price terms vs. a return for the Russell 1000 Value Index of 27.4% – underperformance relative to the index is attributed by the Board to the outperformance of “lower quality stocks” that BRNA does not hold.
