BLACKROCK CORPORATE HIGH YIELD FUND, INC.

BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund, Inc. is a diversified, closed-end management investment company. Its primary objective is to provide shareholders with current income, with a secondary goal of capital appreciation. The fund achieves these aims by investing primarily in a portfolio of fixed-income securities, emphasizing corporate high yield bonds—often called 'junk bonds'—rated below investment grade, along with corporate loans, convertible debt, and preferred securities, both domestic and foreign. Managed by BlackRock Advisors, LLC, the fund maintains at least 80% of its assets in these high yield instruments under normal conditions, targeting higher coupon payments amid elevated credit risk. As a closed-end fund, it issues a fixed number of shares that trade on an exchange, where market price may deviate from net asset value, enabling leverage and active management strategies. In the financial markets, it offers investors targeted exposure to the high yield bond segment, facilitating income generation within the broader fixed-income landscape while navigating interest rate, credit, and market risks inherent to non-investment grade securities.
