Before 2026: the named era
Reconstructed from the frozen named register: the sum of individually disclosed positions of 0.5% or more in BLACKROCK SMALLER COMPANIES TRUST PLC at each disclosure date, back to 2 Jul 2026. This is a lower bound and a different measure from today's aggregate above, because positions between 0.1% and 0.5% were reported to the FCA but never published with names, so the two series are charted separately and are not comparable point for point. See the methodology.
