Dear Shareholder,
Diverging monetary policies and shifting economic outlooks across regions were the overarching themes driving financial markets during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015. U.S. economic growth was
picking up considerably toward the end of 2014, while the broader global economy showed signs of slowing. Investors favored the stability of U.S. assets despite expectations that the Federal Reserve (the Fed) would eventually be inclined
to raise short-term interest rates, while international markets struggled even as the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan eased monetary policy. Oil prices plummeted in late 2014 due to a global supply-and-demand imbalance, fueling a
sell-off in energy-related assets and emerging markets. U.S. Treasury bonds benefited as their persistently low yields had become attractive as compared to the even lower yields on international sovereign debt.
Equity markets reversed in early 2015, with international markets outperforming the United States as global risks temporarily abated, and the U.S. economy
hit a soft patch amid a harsh winter and a west coast port strike. High valuations took their toll on U.S. stocks, while bond yields fell to extreme lows. (Bond prices rise as yields fall.) In contrast, economic reports in Europe and Asia began to
improve, and accommodative policies from central banks in those regions helped international equities rebound. Oil prices stabilized, providing some relief for emerging market stocks, although a stronger U.S. dollar posed another significant
headwind for the asset class.
U.S. economic growth regained momentum in the second quarter, helping U.S. stocks resume an upward path; however,
the improving data underscored the likelihood that the Fed would raise short-term rates before the end of 2015 and bond yields moved swiftly higher. The month of June brought a sharp, but temporary, sell-off across most asset classes as
Greeces long-brewing debt troubles came to an impasse. These concerns abated when the Greek parliament passed a series of austerity and reform measures in July. But the markets calm was short-lived. Signs of weakness in Chinas
economy sparked extreme levels of volatility in Chinese equities despite policymakers attempts to stabilize the market.
Higher volatility
spread through markets globally in the third quarter as further evidence of deceleration in China stoked worries about overall global growth. Weakening Chinese demand caused oil prices to slide once again and ignited another steep sell-off in
emerging markets. Speculation as to whether the Fed would raise rates at its September meeting further fueled global volatility. Ultimately, the Fed postponed the rate hike, but this brought little relief in the markets as the central banks
decision reinforced investors concerns about the state of the global economy. Stock markets finished the third quarter with the worst performance since 2011. High yield bonds also declined, while higher quality assets, including U.S. Treasury
bonds, municipal bonds and investment grade credit benefited from investors seeking shelter amid global uncertainty.
The period ended with a
strong October rally in risk assets. Given the recent scarcity of evidence of global growth, equity markets had become more reliant on central banks to drive performance. Although October brought generally soft economic data and lower growth
estimates, global equities powered higher as Chinas central bank provided more stimulus, the European Central Bank poised for more easing and soft U.S. data pushed back expectations for a Fed rate hike. Treasury bonds declined in October while
all other asset classes benefited from investors increased risk appetite.
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 blackrock.com for further insight about investing in todays
markets.

Municipal Market Overview |
|
|
|
For the Reporting Period Ended October 31, 2015 |
Municipal Market Conditions
Municipal bonds
generated positive performance for the period, due to a favorable supply-and-demand environment and declining interest rates. (Bond prices rise as rates fall.) Interest rates moved lower as 2014 came to a close, even as the U.S. Federal Reserve
(Fed) curtailed its open-market bond purchases. This, coupled with reassurance from the Fed that short-term rates would remain low for a considerable amount of time, resulted in strong demand for fixed income investments in 2014, with
municipal bonds being one of the stronger-performing sectors for the year. This trend continued into the beginning of 2015 until rate volatility ultimately increased in February as a result of uneven U.S. economic data and widening central bank
divergence, i.e., rate cuts outside the United States while the Fed poised for normalizing U.S. rates. During the 12 months ended October 31, 2015, municipal bond funds garnered net inflows of approximately $16 billion (based on data from the
Investment Company Institute).
For the same 12-month period, total new issuance remained relatively strong from a historical perspective
at $415 billion (considerably higher than the $319 billion issued in the prior 12-month period). A noteworthy portion of new supply during this period was attributable to refinancing activity (roughly 60%) as issuers took advantage of low interest
rates and a flatter yield curve to reduce their borrowing costs.

A Closer Look at Yields
From October 31, 2014 to October 31, 2015, yields on AAA-rated 30-year municipal bonds rose by 6 basis points
(bps) from 3.01% to 3.07%, while 10-year rates fell by 3 bps from 2.07% to 2.04% and 5-year rates increased 5 bps from 1.12% to 1.17% (as measured by Thomson Municipal Market Data). Overall, the municipal yield curve remained
relatively steep over the 12-month period even as the spread between 2- and 30-year maturities flattened by 12 bps and the spread between 2-and 10-year maturities flattened by 21 bps.
During the same time period, U.S. Treasury rates fell by 12 bps on 30-year bonds, 18 bps on 10-year bonds and 9 bps on 5-year bonds. Accordingly,
tax-exempt municipal bonds underperformed Treasuries, most notably in the intermediate part of the curve as a result of increased supply and tempered demand. In absolute terms, the positive performance of muni bonds was driven largely by a
supply/demand imbalance within the municipal market as investors sought income and incremental yield in an environment where opportunities had become scarce. More broadly, municipal bonds benefited from the greater appeal of tax-exempt investing in
light of the higher tax rates implemented in 2014. The asset class is known for its lower relative volatility and preservation of principal with an emphasis on income as tax rates rise.
Financial Conditions of Municipal Issuers
The majority of municipal credits remain strong,
despite well-publicized distress among a few issuers. Four of the five largest states in terms of debt outstanding California, New York, Texas and Florida have exhibited markedly improved credit fundamentals during the slow national
recovery. However, several states with the largest unfunded pension liabilities have seen their bond prices decline noticeably and remain vulnerable to additional price deterioration. On the local level, Chicagos credit quality downgrade is an
outlier relative to other cities due to its larger pension liability and inadequate funding remedies. BlackRock maintains the view that municipal bond defaults will remain minimal and in the periphery while the overall market is fundamentally sound.
We continue to advocate careful credit research and believe that a thoughtful approach to structure and security selection remain imperative amid uncertainty in a modestly improving economic environment.
The opinions expressed are those of BlackRock as of October 31, 2015, and are subject to change at any time due to changes in market or
economic conditions. The comments should not be construed as a recommendation of any individual holdings or market sectors. Investing involves risk including loss of principal. Bond values fluctuate in price so the value of your investment can go
down depending on market conditions. Fixed income risks include interest-rate and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in bond values. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the bond issuer will not
be able to make principal and interest payments. There may be less information on the financial condition of municipal issuers than for public corporations. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds. Some investors may
be subject to Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable.
The Standard &
Poors Municipal Bond Index, a broad, market value-weighted index, seeks to measure the performance of the U.S. municipal bond market. All bonds in the index are exempt from U.S. federal income taxes or subject to the alternative minimum tax.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging |
|
|
The Trusts may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the distribution rate on, and net asset value
(NAV) of, their common shares (Common Shares). However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments.
In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the premise that the financing cost of leverage, which is based on short-term interest rates, is normally lower than the income earned by a Trust on its
longer-term portfolio investments purchased with the proceeds from leverage. To the extent that the total assets of the Trusts (including the assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio investments, the Trusts
shareholders benefit from the incremental net income. The interest earned on securities purchased with the proceeds from leverage is paid to shareholders in the form of dividends, and the value of these portfolio holdings is reflected in the per
share NAV.
To illustrate these concepts, assume a Trusts Common Shares capitalization is $100 million and it utilizes leverage for an
additional $30 million, creating a total value of $130 million available for investment in longer-term income securities. If prevailing short-term interest rates are 3% and longer-term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a strongly positive
slope. In this case, a Trusts financing costs on the $30 million of proceeds obtained from leverage are based on the lower short-term interest rates. At the same time, the securities purchased by a Trust with the proceeds from leverage earn
income based on longer-term interest rates. In this case, a Trusts financing cost of leverage is significantly lower than the income earned on a Trusts longer-term investments acquired from leverage proceeds, and therefore the holders of
Common Shares (Common Shareholders) are the beneficiaries of the incremental net income.
However, in order to benefit Common
Shareholders, the return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds must exceed the ongoing costs associated with the leverage. If interest and other costs of leverage exceed the Trusts return on assets purchased with leverage proceeds, income
to shareholders is lower than if the Trusts had not used leverage. Furthermore, the value of the 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 value of the Trusts obligations under their respective leverage arrangements generally does not fluctuate in relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influence the
Trusts NAVs positively or negatively. Changes in the future direction of interest rates are very
difficult to predict accurately, and there is no assurance that a Trusts intended leveraging strategy will be successful.
Leverage also generally causes greater changes in the Trusts NAVs, market prices and dividend rates than comparable portfolios without leverage. In a declining market, leverage is likely to cause a
greater decline in the net asset value and market price of a Trusts Common Shares than if the Trusts were not leveraged. In addition, the Trusts may be required to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times or at distressed 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 the Trusts to incur losses. The use of leverage may limit a Trusts ability to invest in certain
types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies. The Trusts 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. Moreover, to the extent the
calculation of the Trusts investment advisory fees includes assets purchased with the proceeds of leverage, the investment advisory fees payable to the Trusts investment advisor will be higher than if the Trusts did not use leverage.
To obtain leverage, each Trust has issued Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares (VRDP), Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares
(VMTP Shares) or Auction Market Preferred Shares (AMPS) (collectively, Preferred Shares) and/or leveraged its assets through the use of tender option bond trusts (TOB Trusts) as described in the Notes
to Financial Statements.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), each Trust is permitted to issue debt
up to 33 1/3% of its total managed assets or equity securities (e.g., Preferred Shares) up to 50% of its total managed assets. A Trust may voluntarily elect to limit its leverage to less than the maximum amount permitted under the 1940 Act. In
addition, a Trust may also be subject to certain asset coverage, leverage or portfolio composition requirements imposed by the Preferred Shares governing instruments or by agencies rating the Preferred Shares, which may be more stringent than
those imposed by the 1940 Act.
If a Trust segregates or designates on its books and records cash or liquid assets having a value not less than
the value of a Trusts obligations under the TOB Trust (including accrued interest), a TOB Trust is not considered a senior security and is not subject to the foregoing limitations and requirements under the 1940 Act.
|
|
|
Derivative Financial Instruments |
|
|
The Trusts may invest in various derivative financial instruments. 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 manage market, equity, credit, interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, commodity and/or other risks. Derivative financial
instruments may give rise to a form of economic leverage. Derivative financial instruments also 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 limit the amount of appreciation a Trust can realize on an investment and/or may result in
lower distributions paid to shareholders. The Trusts investments in these instruments are discussed in detail in the Notes to Financial Statements.

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 the
Trusts absolute performance based on NAV:
|
|
Municipal bonds produced a modest gain during the six-month reporting period. U.S. Treasury yields rose (as prices fell), with the bulk of the increase
occurring from the beginning of April through the first week of June. While yields subsequently declined amid signs of slowing global growth, the rally was not sufficient to make up for the earlier weakness. Municipal issues outperformed Treasuries
due in part to an increasingly favorable balance of supply and demand in the market, as the heavy new issuance that characterized the first half of 2015 began to abate at mid-year. In addition, state and local government finances continued to
benefit from improving revenues. |
|
|
Given that overall tax-exempt rates declined, the Trusts longer duration added to performance. However, its position in longer-dated bonds with
maturities beyond 25 years was a small detractor from performance given that longer-dated bonds finished with slightly higher yields. The Trusts investments in the tax-backed (local and states), healthcare and utilities sectors were positive
contributors to performance. The Trusts positions in lower coupon bonds and zero coupon bonds also benefited returns, as both segments outperformed. From a credit rating perspective, the best returns came from the portfolios
higher-yielding and lower-rated investment-grade credits. Nevertheless, the Trusts high-quality pre-refunded bonds also contributed positively to performance. Income in the form of coupon payments made up a meaningful portion of the
Trusts total return for the period. In addition, the Trusts use of leverage generated added income. |

For financial reporting purposes, credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either Standard & Poors
(S&P) or Moodys Investors Service (Moodys) if ratings differ. These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are
credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit
quality ratings are subject to change. |
|
2 |
|
The investment advisor evaluates the credit quality of unrated investments based upon certain factors including, but not limited to, credit ratings for
similar investments and financial analysis of sectors and individual investments. Using this approach, the investment advisor has deemed certain of these unrated securities as investment grade quality. As of October 31, 2015 and April 30,
2015, the market value of unrated securities deemed by the investment advisor to be investment grade represents 1% and 3%, respectively, of the Trusts total investments.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2015 |
|
BlackRock Long-Term Municipal Advantage Trust |
BlackRock Long-Term Municipal Advantage Trusts (BTA) (the Trust) investment objective is to provide current income exempt from regular
federal income tax. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in municipal obligations and derivative instruments with exposure to such municipal obligations, in each
case that are exempt from federal income tax (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Trust invests, under normal market conditions, primarily in long-term municipal bonds with a maturity of more than ten

|
|
Municipal bonds produced a modest gain during the six-month reporting period. U.S. Treasury yields rose (as prices fell), with the bulk of the increase
occurring from the beginning of April through the first week of June. While yields subsequently declined amid signs of slowing global growth, the rally was not sufficient to make up for the earlier weakness. Municipal issues outperformed Treasuries
due in part to an increasingly favorable balance of supply and demand in the market, as the heavy new issuance that characterized the first half of 2015 began to abate at mid-year. In addition, overall state and local government finances continued
to benefit from improving revenues. |
|
|
Income in the form of coupon payments made up a meaningful portion of the Trusts total return for the period. In addition, the Trusts use of
leverage provided both incremental return and income in a relatively stable rate environment. |
|
|
The Trusts positions in AA rated bonds, as well as in those on the lower end of the investment grade spectrum, were key drivers of its six-month
results. The Trust benefited from the additional yield these securities generated, as well as the ongoing decline in yield spreads in these market segments. The Trusts positions in the utilities, healthcare, tobacco and transportation sectors
also aided performance. |
|
|
The Trusts overall yield curve positioning was a modest detractor from performance, due largely to its investments in longer-maturity bonds issued
by Illinois and New Jersey. Ongoing concerns regarding the states budget and pension-funding challenges undermined valuations for both state and local general obligation debt. |

For financial reporting purposes, credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either S&Ps or Moodys if
ratings differ. These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of
BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change. |

The investment advisor evaluates the credit quality of unrated investments based upon certain factors including, but not limited to, credit ratings for
similar investments and financial analysis of sectors and individual investments. Using this approach, the investment advisor has deemed certain of these unrated securities as investment grade quality. As of April 30, 2015, the market value of
unrated securities deemed by the investment advisor to be investment grade represents 1% of the Trusts total investments.

|
BlackRock Municipal 2020 Term Trust |
BlackRock Municipal 2020 Term Trusts (BKK) (the Trust) investment objectives are to provide current income exempt from regular federal
income tax and to return $15 per Common Share (the initial offering price per Common Share) to holders of Common Shares on or about December 31, 2020. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing, under normal market
conditions, at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax). The Trust invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its
assets in municipal bonds that are investment grade quality at the time of investment. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
No assurance can be given that the Trusts investment objectives will be achieved.

to benefit from improving revenues. |
|
|
The Trusts duration exposure contributed to performance given the municipal bond markets positive return. (Duration is a measure of interest
rate sensitivity). At the sector level, the largest contributions came from transportation, corporate, healthcare and utilities issues. Income in the form of coupon payments made up a meaningful portion of the Trusts total return for the
period. In addition, the Trusts use of leverage provided both incremental return and income in a relatively stable rate environment. |
|
|
The Trusts holdings in Illinois general obligation bonds and Chicago credits, both of which lagged the return of the broader U.S. municipal bond
market, detracted from performance. Both entities faced budget shortfalls and concerns about their ability to meet their long-term pension obligations, which prompted the major rating agencies to downgrade their credit ratings.

For financial reporting purposes, credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either S&Ps or Moodys if
ratings differ. These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of
BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change. |

The investment advisor evaluates the credit quality of unrated investments based upon certain factors including, but not limited to, credit ratings for
similar investments and financial analysis of sectors and individual investments. Using this approach, the investment advisor has deemed certain of these unrated securities as investment grade quality. As of October 31, 2015 and April 30,
2015, the market value of unrated securities deemed by the investment advisor to be investment grade each represents 1%, respectively, of the Trusts total investments.

Trust Summary as of October 31, 2015 |
|
BlackRock Strategic Municipal Trust |
BlackRock
Strategic Municipal Trusts (BSD) (the Trust) investment objectives are to provide current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax and to invest in municipal bonds that over time will perform better than the broader
municipal bond market. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in investments exempt from federal income taxes (except that the interest may be subject to the
federal alternative minimum tax). The Trust invests at least 80% of its assets in investment grade quality securities at the time of investment and, under normal market conditions, primarily invests in municipal bonds with long-term maturities in
order to maintain a weighted average maturity of 15 years or more. The Trust may invest directly in such securities or synthetically through the use of derivatives.
No assurance can be given that the Trusts investment objectives will be achieved.

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 the
Trusts absolute performance based on NAV:
|
|
Municipal bonds produced a modest gain during the six-month reporting period. U.S. Treasury yields rose (as prices fell), with the bulk of the increase
occurring from the beginning of April through the first week of June. While yields subsequently declined amid signs of slowing global growth, the rally was not sufficient to make up for the earlier weakness. Municipal issues outperformed Treasuries
due in part to an increasingly favorable balance of supply and demand in the market, as the heavy new issuance that characterized the first half of 2015 began to abate at mid-year. In addition, overall state and local government finances continued
to benefit from improving revenues. |
|
|
Income in the form of coupon payments made up a meaningful portion of the Trusts total return for the period. In addition, the Trusts use of
leverage provided both incremental return and income in a relatively stable rate environment. |
|
|
The Trusts positions in AA rated bonds, as well as in those on the lower end of the investment grade spectrum, were key drivers of its six-month
results. The Trust benefited from the additional yield these securities generated, as well as the ongoing decline in yield spreads in these market segments. The Trusts positions in the transportation, healthcare, utilities and tobacco sectors
also aided performance. |
|
|
The Trusts overall yield curve positioning was a modest detractor from performance, due largely to its investments in longer-maturity bonds issued
by Illinois and New Jersey. Ongoing concerns regarding the states budget and pension-funding challenges undermined valuations for both state and local general obligation debt. |
The views expressed reflect the opinions of BlackRock as of the date of this report and are subject to change based on changes in market,
economic or other conditions. These views are not intended to be a forecast of future events and are no guarantee of future results.
