Bigz Cef: Risk Appetite Still Missing For Venture Capital (nyse:bigz)
A while ago, I wrote a cautious article on the BlackRock Innovation & Growth Term Trust (NYSE:BIGZ). At the time, we were in the midst of the 2022 equity bear market and risk appetites were being pulled back, so I did not think it was the best time to invest in the BIGZ fund given its risky venture capital-like portfolio.

As interest rates slumped in the decade leading up to 2022, this space increasingly attracted yield-starved capital from institutions and individuals alike.
