Blackrock Real Asset Equity Trust

A closed-end investment fund launched in 2010, it pooled investor money into "real assets" — physical holdings like real estate, infrastructure, and natural resources. It was created under BlackRock, the asset manager founded in 1988 as Blackstone Financial Management, a name that nodded to its start inside the Blackstone Group before it split off in 1994 and rebranded as BlackRock.
