BlackRock’s Post

Why $11 Trillion in Assets Isn’t Enough for BlackRock’s Larry Fink Fink wants to push the world’s largest asset manager into the more lucrative world of private markets Firms such as Blackstone, Apollo Global Management and KKR manage just a fraction of BlackRock’s $11.5 trillion in assets. Yet those rivals command market values that are in the ballpark of BlackRock’s, which is around $150 billion. The reason: Private-market funds can charge more than BlackRock gets for much of its plain-vanilla, index-based funds. And the market rewards that. To change that, Fink is taking an “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em” approach, largely through acquisitions. https://lnkd.in/gEsW6A-X

Larry Fink, chairman and chief executive of BlackRock, said he believes the asset manager can lead the indexing of private markets, in the same way that indexing has become the language of public markets, following its approximately $3.2bn in cash acquisition of Preqin, an independent provider of private markets data. The acquisition is about driving evolution and growth in private markets by measuring them, understanding their drivers of performance and making them more investable. “We envision we can bring the principles of indexing, and even iShares [BlackRock’s exchange-traded funds business], to the private markets,” he added. “We anticipate indexes and data will be important future drivers of the democratisation of all alternatives, and this acquisition is the unlock.” In addition, Fink said private markets are the fastest growing segment of asset management and there is significant demand from BlackRock clients. #PPLI #privateplacementlifeinsurance #premiumfunding #taxefficiency #estatetaxplaning https://lnkd.in/ew9FCU9D
