About Blackrock Muniyield Quality Fund Ii, INC.

BlackRock MuniYield Quality Fund II, Inc. (NYSE: MQT) is a U.S.-listed closed-end bond fund focused on the municipal bond market in the United States. For French-, Belgian-, and Swiss-based investors, the fund is best understood as an income-oriented vehicle designed to deliver a high level of current income exempt from U.S. federal income tax, subject to the fund’s investment policies and prudent portfolio management. BlackRock states that the fund seeks this objective by investing at least 80% of assets in municipal bonds that are exempt from federal income tax, although some distributions may still be subject to federal alternative minimum tax rules. ([blackrock.com](https://www.blackrock.com/us/partner/products/240258/blackrock-muniyield-quality-fund-ii-inc-usd-fund?utm_source=openai)) MQT sits within BlackRock’s broader municipal closed-end fund franchise, which gives it access to one of the world’s largest asset managers and to a dedicated municipal bond research, trading, and portfolio-management platform. In competitive terms, the fund is not a consumer brand or an operating company; it is a specialized income fund competing on portfolio construction, distribution policy, and access to the deep U.S. municipal bond market. Its appeal lies in diversification, tax-exempt income, and BlackRock’s scale in credit analysis and municipal market execution. ([blackrock.com](https://www.blackrock.com/us/partner/products/240258/blackrock-muniyield-quality-fund-ii-inc-usd-fund?utm_source=openai)) The fund was formed in 1992 and is domiciled in the United States. It trades on the NYSE, giving public-market investors direct access to a long-standing BlackRock municipal income strategy. The listed structure means investors should evaluate both net asset value performance and market-price performance, since closed-end funds can trade at premiums or discounts to NAV. BlackRock’s own product pages showed MQT trading at a discount to NAV in early 2026, a normal but important feature of the closed-end fund structure. ([stockanalysis.com](https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/mqt/company/?utm_source=openai)) From a portfolio perspective, MQT invests mainly in long-duration municipal obligations, typically spanning U.S. state and local general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, and similar tax-exempt securities. The fund’s mandate is centered on high-quality municipal credit rather than aggressive return-seeking. That makes it structurally more conservative than high-yield bond strategies, but it also leaves it exposed to interest-rate risk, credit spread movement, and changes in municipal supply-demand conditions. For European investors analyzing U.S. income funds, this is an important point: the product is fundamentally a tax-efficient bond allocation tool, not an equity-like growth story. ([blackrock.com](https://www.blackrock.com/us/partner/products/240258/blackrock-muniyield-quality-fund-ii-inc-usd-fund?utm_source=openai)) Geographically, MQT is overwhelmingly U.S.-centric. Its investment universe is the U.S. municipal market, and its investor base is primarily drawn to U.S. taxable-income optimization. There is no meaningful operating footprint outside the United States; instead, its “presence” is through the U.S. capital markets and BlackRock’s domestic municipal fund platform. ([blackrock.com](https://www.blackrock.com/us/partner/products/240258/blackrock-muniyield-quality-fund-ii-inc-usd-fund?utm_source=openai)) Recent company-level developments have centered on BlackRock’s 2025 municipal closed-end fund simplification and reorganization program, in which MQT was included in the broader set of municipal CEF actions. That corporate activity indicates ongoing portfolio and product-line optimization at the BlackRock platform level rather than a change in MQT’s underlying investment mandate. BlackRock’s 2026 product page also highlighted ongoing distributions, current market pricing, and a market discount, all of which are key items for income investors to monitor.
