2 ANNUAL REPORT
APRIL 30, 2010
Dear Shareholder
Although overall global economic and financial conditions have generally improved over the past year, the period ended with high levels of market volatility
and diminishing investor confidence sparked by the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, concerns over the strength of the economic recovery and uncertainty
surrounding the future of interest rate policies. Additionally, as the period drew to a close, the increasing likelihood of more stringent financial market regula-
tions added to the overall sense of investment uncertainty. Despite the uneven nature of recent market conditions, we continue to believe that the Great
Recession likely ended at some point last summer, thanks primarily to massive fiscal and monetary stimulus, and that the global economy remains in
recovery mode.
Global equity markets bottomed in early 2009 and since that time have moved unevenly higher as investors were lured back into the markets by depressed
valuations, desire for higher yields and improvements in corporate earnings prospects. There have been several corrections along the way and volatility levels
have remained elevated reflections of mixed economic data, lingering deflation issues (especially in Europe) and uncertainty surrounding financial regula-
tions. On balance, however, improving corporate revenues and profits and a positive macro backdrop helped push stock prices higher over the last twelve
and six months. From a geographic perspective, US equities have outpaced their international counterparts in recent months, as the domestic economic
recovery has been more pronounced and as credit-related issues have held European markets down.
Within fixed income markets, yields have been moving unevenly as improving economic conditions have been acting to push Treasury yields higher (and
prices correspondingly lower), while concerns over ongoing deflation threats have acted as a counterweight. As the period drew to a close, Treasury yields
were falling as investors flocked to the safe haven asset class in the face of escalating uncertainty. Over the course of the last twelve and six months, how-
ever, Treasuries underperformed other areas of the bond market, particularly the high yield sector, which has been benefiting from increased investor
demand. Meanwhile, municipal bonds slightly outperformed taxable sectors over both the six- and twelve-month periods thanks to continued high demand
levels, but have continued to face the headwinds of ongoing state and local budget problems. As in the taxable arena, high yield municipals have been out-
performing the rest of the market.
Regarding cash investments, yields on money market securities remain near all-time lows (producing returns only marginally above zero percent), with the
Federal Open Market Committee reiterating that economic circumstances are likely to necessitate an accommodative interest rate stance for an extended
period.
Against this backdrop, the major market averages posted the following returns: | ||
Total Returns as of April 30, 2010 | 6-month | 12-month |
US equities (S&P 500 Index) | 15.66% | 38.84% |

Trust Summary as of April 30, 2010
BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc.
Investment Objective
BlackRock Investment Quality Municipal Trust Inc. (BKN) (the Trust) seeks to provide high current income which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the
issuer, is exempt from regular federal income tax consistent with the preservation of capital.
No assurance can be given that the Trusts investment objective will be achieved.
Performance
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2010, the Trust returned 34.50% based on market price and 26.55% based on net asset value (NAV). For the same
period, the closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 28.13% on a market price basis and
22.67% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. During the period, the Trust moved from a discount to NAV to a premium, which
accounts for the difference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The Trust benefited from a tightening of credit spreads,
specifically within the corporate high yield sector, which helped the Trusts lower-quality holdings outperform. In addition, we actively structured new-issue
deals with discounted coupons at the longer end of the Trusts duration range. These holdings benefited from the outperformance of the new-issue market,
the flattening of the yield curve and the reduced supply of tax-exempt issuance due to Build America Bonds (BAB) issuance. We also diversified the Trusts
holdings to increase exposure to specialty-state paper, which outperformed as a result of increased demand by retail buyers. Conversely, the Trusts shorter
maturity holdings, as well as its bonds with greater negative convexity, underperformed the market.

Trust Summary as of April 30, 2010
BlackRock Long-Term Municipal Advantage Trust
Investment Objective
BlackRock Long-Term Municipal Advantage Trust (BTA) (the Trust) seeks to provide current income which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is
exempt from regular federal income tax.
No assurance can be given that the Trusts investment objective will be achieved.
Performance
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2010, the Trust returned 31.25% based on market price and 26.81% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-
end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 28.13% on a market price basis and 22.67% on a NAV basis.
All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trust's discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance
based on price and performance based on NAV. Positive performance was attributable in part to sector allocation decisions and included concentrations in
health care, tobacco and corporate-related debt, which all performed well. Increasing risk appetite has also proven beneficial given the portfolios focus on
lower-rated credits. Additionally, portfolio positioning with respect to a modestly long duration stance and an emphasis on longer-dated bonds was additive
in an environment where yields on the long end of the curve fell substantially. Negative factors included underweight positioning in the transportation, public
utilities and education sectors, all of which have performed well on a relative basis.

BlackRock Municipal 2020 Term Trust
Investment Objective
BlackRock Municipal 2020 Term Trust (BKK) (the Trust) seeks to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax and to return $15 per
share (the initial public offering price) on or about December 31, 2020.
No assurance can be given that the Trusts investment objective will be achieved.
Performance
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2010, the Trust returned 23.52% based on market price and 26.97% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-
end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 28.13% on a market price basis and 22.67% on a NAV basis.
All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trusts premium to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance
based on price and performance based on NAV. The Trust benefited from declining interest rates, which pushed bond prices higher. Although the Trust has a
generally shorter maturity profile relative to its Lipper category, performance was enhanced by the Trusts allocation to longer maturities in the high yield sec-
tor. This sector outperformed as credit spreads narrowed in an improving market. Additionally, the Trusts allocations to the health care sector overall and the
hospitals sub-sector in particular outperformed for the period. The Trust is managed to meet a 2020 termination date, and as such, maintains a generally
shorter duration than that of its Lipper category, which comprises longer-duration funds. Accordingly, the Trust did not fully benefit from the price apprecia-
tion that occurred among longer-dated securities.

underweight positioning in the tax-backed and public utilities sectors, both of which have performed well on a relative basis. Above market weight exposure
to capital appreciation bonds also proved detrimental given their relative underperformance.

BlackRock Pennsylvania Strategic Municipal Trust
Investment Objective
BlackRock Pennsylvania Strategic Municipal Trust (BPS) (the Trust) seeks to provide monthly income which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer,
is exempt from regular federal and Pennsylvania income taxes.
No assurance can be given that the Trusts investment objective will be achieved.
Performance
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2010, the Trust returned 49.41% based on market price and 23.80% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-
end Lipper Pennsylvania Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of 29.96% on a market price basis and 18.43% on a NAV basis. All
returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. 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 Trust benefited from efforts to increase weighting in interest-rate-sensitive bonds, as tax-
exempt 30-year interest rates rallied 30 basis points (0.30%) lower. A greater weighting in the housing and health care sectors also contributed to Trust
performance, as credit spreads generally tightened in these sectors. Conversely, a low relative distribution yield detracted from performance. Over the period,
the Trusts income component was a drag on total return performance, but recent efforts to increase current income have resulted in dividend growth and
should be a positive factor in future returns.

BlackRock Strategic Municipal Trust (BSD) (the Trust) seeks to provide high current income, which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is
exempt from regular federal income tax, consistent with the preservation of capital.
No assurance can be given that the Trusts investment objective will be achieved.
Performance
For the 12 months ended April 30, 2010, the Trust returned 36.87% based on market price and 27.36% based on NAV. For the same period, the closed-
end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of 28.13% on a market price basis and 22.67% on a NAV basis.
All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Trusts discount to NAV, which narrowed during the period, accounts for the difference between performance
based on price and performance based on NAV. Positive performance was attributable in part to sector allocation decisions and included concentrations in
health care, housing and corporate-related debt, which all performed well. Increasing risk appetite has also proven beneficial given the portfolios focus on
lower-rated credits. Additionally, portfolio positioning with respect to a modestly long duration stance and an emphasis on longer-dated bonds was additive
in an environment where yields on the long end of the curve fell substantially. Negative factors included underweight positioning in the tax-backed sector,
which performed well on a relative basis. Above market weight exposure to capital appreciation bonds also proved detrimental given their relative underper-
formance.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging
The Trusts may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV of
their Common Shares. However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all
interest rate environments.
To leverage, all the Trusts, except for BTA, issue Preferred Shares, which pay
dividends at prevailing short-term interest rates, and invest the proceeds in
long-term municipal bonds. In general, the concept of leveraging is based
on the premise that the cost of assets to be obtained from leverage will be
based on short-term interest rates, which normally will be lower than the
income earned by each Trust on its longer-term portfolio investments. To
the extent that the total assets of each Trust (including the assets obtained
from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, each
Trusts Common Shareholders will benefit from the incremental net income.
To illustrate these concepts, assume a Trusts Common Shares capitalization
is $100 million and it issues Preferred Shares for an additional $50 million,
creating a total value of $150 million available for investment in long-term
municipal bonds. If prevailing short-term interest rates are 3% and long-
term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive slope. In
this case, the Trust pays dividends on the $50 million of Preferred Shares
based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the securi-
ties purchased by the Trust with assets received from Preferred Shares
issuance earn the income based on long-term interest rates. In this case,
the dividends paid to Preferred Shareholders are significantly lower than
the income earned on the Trusts long-term investments, and therefore the
Common Shareholders are the beneficiaries of the incremental net income.
If short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the differential between short-
term and long-term interest rates, the incremental net income pickup on
the Common Shares will be reduced or eliminated completely. Furthermore,
if prevailing short-term interest rates rise above long-term interest rates of
6%, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case, the Trust pays divi-
dends on the higher short-term interest rates whereas the Trusts total port-
folio earns income based on lower long-term interest rates.
Furthermore, the value of a Trusts portfolio investments generally varies
inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other factors
can influence the value of portfolio investments. In contrast, the redemp-
tion value of the Trusts Preferred Shares does not fluctuate in relation to
interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the Trusts
NAV positively or negatively in addition to the impact on Trust performance
from leverage from Preferred Shares discussed above.
The Trusts may also leverage their assets through the use of tender option
bond (TOB) programs, as described in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial
Statements. TOB investments generally will provide the Trusts with economic
benefits in periods of declining short-term interest rates, but expose the
Trusts to risks during periods of rising short-term interest rates similar to
those associated with Preferred Shares issued by the Trusts, as described
above. Additionally, fluctuations in the market value of municipal bonds
deposited into the TOB trust may adversely affect each Trusts NAVs per
share.
The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased income to the
Trusts and Common Shareholders, but as described above, it also creates
risks as short- or long-term interest rates fluctuate. Leverage also will gen-
erally cause greater changes in the Trusts NAV, market price and dividend
rate than a comparable portfolio without leverage. If the income derived
from securities purchased with assets received from leverage exceeds the
cost of leverage, the Trusts net income will be greater than if leverage had
not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securities purchased is
not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, each Trusts net income will be
less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount avail-
able for distribution to Common Shareholders will be reduced. Each Trust
may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at dis-
tressed values in order to comply with regulatory requirements applicable
to the use of leverage or as required by the terms of leverage instruments,
which may cause a Trust to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit each
Trusts ability to invest in certain types of securities or use certain types of
hedging strategies, such as in the case of certain restrictions imposed by
ratings agencies that rate preferred shares issued by the Trusts. Each Trust
will incur expenses in connection with the use of leverage, all of which are
borne by Common Shareholders and may reduce income to the Common
Shares.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trusts are permitted to
issue Preferred Shares in an amount of up to 50% of their total managed
assets at the time of issuance. Under normal circumstances, each Trust
anticipates that the total economic leverage from Preferred Shares and/or
TOBs will not exceed 50% of its total managed assets at the time such
leverage is incurred. As of April 30, 2010, the Trusts had economic leverage
from Preferred Shares and/or TOBs as a percentage of their total managed
assets as follows:
Percent of | |
Leverage | |
BKN | 37% |
BTA | 36% |
BKK | 38% |
BFK | 37% |
BPS | 40% |
BSD | 37% |
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Trusts may invest in various derivative instruments, including finan-
cial futures contracts, as specified in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial
Statements, which may constitute forms of economic leverage. Such instru-
ments are used to obtain exposure to a market without owning or taking
physical custody of securities or to hedge market and/or interest rate risks.
Such derivative instruments involve risks, including the imperfect correlation
between the value of a derivative instrument and the underlying asset or
illiquidity of the derivative instrument. The Trusts ability to successfully use
a derivative instrument depends on the investment advisors ability to accu-
rately predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured. The
use of derivative instruments may result in losses greater than if they had
not been used, may require the Trusts to sell or purchase portfolio securi-
ties at inopportune times or for distressed values, may limit the amount of
appreciation the Trusts can realize on an investment or may cause the
Trusts to hold a security that they might otherwise sell. The Trusts invest-
ments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to
Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of
investments, which are as follows:
Level 1 price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
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)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information
about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant
accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of April 30, 2010 in determining

Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of

Level 1 price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
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)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information
about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant
accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of April 30, 2010 in determining

Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of
investments, which are as follows:
Level 1 price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
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)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information
about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant
accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of

Level 1 price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
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, repayment 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)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indi-
cation of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information about
the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant accounting
policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Level 1 price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical assets
and liabilities
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)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information
about the Trusts policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant
accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of April 30, 2010 in determining
the fair valuation of the Trusts investments:
