Shareholder Letter |
Dear Shareholder,
Markets have remained highly attuned to potential changes in U.S. monetary policy over the past year. This was markedly evident one year ago in May of 2013 when then-Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke first mentioned the possibility of reducing (or tapering) the central banks asset purchase programs comments that were widely misinterpreted as signaling an end to the Feds zero-interest-rate policy. U.S. Treasury yields rose sharply following his comments, triggering a steep sell-off across fixed income markets. (Bond prices move in the opposite direction of yields.) Global equities also suffered as investors feared the implications of a potential end to a program that had greatly supported stocks. Emerging markets, which are more sensitive to changes in global liquidity, were especially hurt by the prospect of ebbing cash flows from the United States. Markets broadly rebounded in late June, however, when the Feds tone turned more dovish. At the same time, improving economic indicators and better corporate earnings helped extend gains through most of the summer.
Although the tone of economic and financial news was mixed last autumn, it was a surprisingly positive period for most asset classes. Early on, the Fed defied market expectations with its decision to delay tapering, but higher volatility returned in late September 2013 when the U.S. Treasury Department warned that the national debt would soon breach its statutory maximum. The ensuing political brinksmanship led to a partial government shutdown, roiling global financial markets through the first half of October. Equities and other so-called risk assets managed to resume their rally when politicians finally engineered a compromise to reopen the government and extend the debt ceiling.
The remainder of 2013 was a generally positive period for stock markets in the developed world, although investors continued to grapple with uncertainty about when and how much the Fed would scale back on stimulus. When the Fed ultimately announced its tapering plans in mid-December, markets reacted positively, as this action signaled the Feds perception of real improvement in the economy, and investors were finally released from the anxiety that had gripped them for quite some time.
The start of the new year brought a stark change in sentiment. Heightened volatility in emerging markets driven by reduced global liquidity, severe currency weakness, high levels of debt and uneven growth combined with mixed U.S. economic data caused global equities to weaken in January while bond markets found renewed strength from investors seeking relatively safer assets. Although these headwinds persisted, equities were back on the rise in February as investors were encouraged by a one-year extension of the U.S. debt ceiling and market-friendly comments from new Fed Chair Janet Yellen. While U.S. economic data had softened, investors were assuaged by increasing evidence that this was a temporary trend resulting from harsher-than-usual winter weather.
In the final months of the period, signs of decelerating growth in China and geopolitical tensions in Russia and Ukraine made for a bumpy ride, but markets continued their climb as investors focused on improving U.S. economic data, stronger corporate earnings and a still-dovish central bank. Within developed markets, investors shifted from growth to value stocks as the strong performance of growth stocks in 2013 had pushed valuations higher in many of these sectors. Emerging markets also benefited from this broad rotation into cheaper valuations and were further supported by an improving growth outlook for a number of developing countries.
Even though investors were gearing up for a modest shift toward tighter monetary policy from the Fed, equity markets in the developed world posted solid gains for the six- and 12-month periods ended April 30. Emerging markets, however, experienced increased volatility amid heightened risks for the asset class. Interest rate uncertainty posed a headwind for fixed income assets, and higher-quality sectors of the market performed poorly over the reporting period. Conversely, high yield bonds benefited from income-oriented investors search for yield in the overall low-rate environment. Short-term interest rates remained near zero, keeping yields on money market securities close to historic lows.
At BlackRock, we believe investors need to think globally, extend their scope across a broad array of asset classes and be prepared to move freely as market conditions change over time. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and visit www.blackrock.com for further insight about investing in todays world.
Sincerely,
Rob Kapito
President, BlackRock Advisors, LLC
In a modest global growth environment, expectations around monetary policy changes continued to be a key theme in financial market performance. |

Municipal Market Overview |
For the Reporting Period Ended April 30, 2014
From April 30, 2013 to April 30, 2014, muni yields increased by 65
basis points (bps) from 2.84% to 3.49% on AAA-rated 30-year municipal bonds, while increasing 61 bps from 1.69% to 2.30% on 10-year bonds
and rising another 49 bps from 0.74% to 1.23% on 5-year issues (as measured by Thomson Municipal Market Data). Overall, the municipal yield curve
remained relatively steep over the 12-month period as the spread between 2- and 30-year maturities widened by 59 bps and the spread between 2- and
10-year maturities widened by 55 bps. The Trusts may invest in various derivative financial instruments,
including financial futures contracts, as specified in Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage.
Such derivative financial instruments are used to obtain exposure to a security, index and/or market without owning or taking physical custody of
securities or to hedge market and/or interest rate risks. Derivative financial instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation between
the value of a derivative financial instrument and the underlying asset, possible default of the counterparty to the transaction or illiquidity of the
derivative financial instrument. The Trusts ability to use a derivative financial instrument successfully depends on the investment
advisors ability to predict pertinent market movements accurately, which cannot be assured. The use of derivative financial instruments may
result in losses greater than if they had not been used, may require a Trust to sell or purchase portfolio investments at inopportune times or for
distressed values, may limit the amount of appreciation a Trust can realize on an investment, may result in lower dividends paid to shareholders and/or
may cause a Trust to hold an investment that it might otherwise sell. The Trusts investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the
Notes to Financial Statements. Trust Overview Performance Trust Information

Trust Summary as of April 30, 2014
BlackRock Investment
Quality Municipal Trust Inc.
For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2014, the Trust returned
(1.28)% based on market price and 0.41% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged)
category posted an average return of (5.00)% based on market price and (0.78)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or
distributions. The Trusts discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and
performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.
The Trust benefited from income generated from coupon payments on
its municipal bond holdings. Exposure to corporate and health care credits contributed positively to returns as these sectors were among the better
performing during the period. Exposure to the transportation sector also had a positive impact. While the tobacco sector broadly underperformed the
market, the Trusts select tobacco holdings added to performance.
As interest rates moved sharply higher early in the period, the
Trusts long duration (high sensitivity to interest rate movements) was the most significant detractor from performance. (Bond prices fall when
rates rise.) Concentrated exposure on the long-end of the yield curve was detrimental as rates increased more in the long-end than in the short-end of
the curve. The Trusts exposure to local tax-backed issues also had a negative impact on returns. In the beginning of the period, the Trusts
exposure to Puerto Rico government-related credits, although limited, was a detractor from results as credit spreads on these bonds widened materially
due to investors lack of confidence and a weak local economy. The Trust sold its exposure to these securities early in the period.

BlackRock Long-Term
Municipal Advantage Trust
For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2014, the Trust returned
(3.17)% based on market price and 0.28% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged)
category posted an average return of (5.00)% based on market price and (0.78)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or
distributions. The Trusts discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and
performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.
During a period in which interest rates increased in earlier half
and declined in the latter half, the additional income afforded by the Trusts use of leverage, a persistently low cost of borrowing and the
Trusts emphasis on credit exposure helped mitigate much of the market-related volatility. The Trust benefited from holding unrated as well as low
investment grade and non-investment grade bonds, which exhibited superior performance compared to higher quality investment grade bonds during the
period. The Trusts concentrations in project finance, development district, tobacco, utilities and health care bonds also had a positive impact
on results.
As interest rates moved sharply higher early in the period, the
Trusts duration exposure (sensitivity to interest rate movements) was the most significant detractor from performance. (Bond prices fall when
rates rise.) The Trusts state and local tax-backed and transportation holdings generally produced slightly negative returns for the period. In

BlackRock Municipal 2020
Term Trust
For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2014, the Trust returned
4.91% based on market price and 1.17% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category posted an
average return of (1.95)% based on market price and 0.41% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions. The Trust
moved from a discount to NAV to a premium by period end, which accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on
NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.
The Trust benefited from income generated from coupon payments on
its municipal bond holdings.
The largest detractor from performance was the Trusts
duration exposure (sensitivity to interest rate movements) as tax-exempt municipal rates increased significantly during the first half of the period.
(Bond prices fall when rates rise.) However, the Trust is managed to a 2020 maturity date and therefore generally maintains a shorter maturity profile
than its Lipper category competitors, which was an advantage to the Trust as rates increased more on the long end of the yield curve. In the beginning
of the period, the Trusts exposure to Puerto Rico government-related credits, although limited, was a detractor from results as credit spreads on
these bonds widened materially due to investors lack of confidence and a weak local economy. The Trust sold its exposure to these securities
early in the period.

BlackRock Pennsylvania
Strategic Municipal Trust
For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2014, the Trust returned
(8.64)% based on market price and (2.24)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper Pennsylvania Municipal Debt Funds category posted an
average return of (2.81)% based on market price and (0.76)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or distributions. The
Trusts discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on
NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.
The largest detractor from performance was the Trusts
duration exposure (sensitivity to interest rate movements) as tax-exempt municipal rates increased significantly during the first half of the period.
(Bond prices fall when rates rise.) During the second half of the period, however, intermediate and long-term rates fell, resulting in less significant
rate increases for the overall annual period. The Trusts exposure to the long-end of the yield curve also detracted from performance, especially
in the first half of the period when shorter rates (two to five years) rose less than long rates (twenty years and longer). In the beginning of the
period, the Trusts exposure to Puerto Rico government-related credits, although limited, was a detractor from results as credit spreads on these
bonds widened materially due to investors lack of confidence and a weak local economy. The Trust sold its exposure to these securities early in
the period.
The Trust benefited from income generated from coupon payments on

Trust Summary as of April 30, 2014
BlackRock Strategic
Municipal Trust
For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2014, the Trust returned
(4.99)% based on market price and (0.94)% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-end Lipper General & Insured Municipal Debt Funds
(Leveraged) category posted an average return of (5.00)% based on market price and (0.78)% based on NAV. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends
and/or distributions. The Trusts discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between performance based on price
and performance based on NAV. The following discussion relates to performance based on NAV.
As interest rates moved sharply higher early in the period, the
Trusts duration exposure (sensitivity to interest rate movements) was the most significant detractor from performance. (Bond prices fall when
rates rise.) The Trusts state and local tax-backed and transportation holdings generally produced negative returns for the period. In the
beginning of the period, the Trusts exposure to Puerto Rico government-related credits, although limited, was a detractor from results as credit
spreads on these bonds widened materially due to investors lack of confidence and a weak local economy. The Trust sold its exposure to these
securities during the period. Additionally, the Trusts holdings of various higher quality investment grade bonds generated modestly negative
returns.
During a period in which interest rates increased in earlier half
and declined in the latter half, the additional income afforded by the Trusts use of leverage, a persistently low cost of borrowing and the
Trusts emphasis on credit exposure helped mitigate much of the market-related volatility. The Trust benefited from holding unrated as well as low
investment grade and non-investment grade bonds, which exhibited superior performance compared to higher quality investment grade bonds during the
period. The Trusts concentrations in utilities, education, tobacco and corporate-related debt also had a positive impact on results.
1
Yield on closing market price is calculated by dividing the
current annualized distribution per share by the closing market price. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
2
Tax equivalent yield assumes the maximum marginal federal tax rate
of 43.4%, which includes the 3.8% Medicare tax. Actual tax rates will vary based on income, exemptions and deductions. Lower taxes will result in lower
tax equivalent yields.
3
The distribution rate is not constant and is subject to
change.

| Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial
instruments. These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial statement
purposes as follows: |
| Level 1 unadjusted price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to
access |
|||
| Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active,
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for
the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or
other market-corroborated inputs) |
|||
| Level 3 unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available
(including the Trusts own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments and derivative financial instruments) |
The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1
measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair
value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value
hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |
||||
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. In
accordance with the Trusts policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of
the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of a value determined for investments and derivative financial instruments is based on the
pricing transparency of the investment and derivative financial instrument and is not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing
in those securities. For information about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and derivative financial instruments, please
refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. |

hierarchy as of April 30, 2014: |
