Title says it all, why would it show 2024 AUM when all information is 2023? odd to me. Hypa1231204 (talk) 00:31, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Stats are scattered in different sources. I added more, but still can't find assets or total equity. C.P.Mead (talk) 03:27, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I work for BlackRock, Inc., and I have declared my conflict of interest on my userpage as well as above ([1], although someone removed it here [2]). I would like to request the following edits to this article:

1. History: These two sentences on BlackRock Solutions (in the 1999-2009 section) do not match the citation at all:

In 2000, under the direction of Charles Hallac, BlackRock launched BlackRock Solutions, its analytics and risk management division. The division grew from the Aladdin System, the enterprise investment system, Green Package, the Risk Reporting Service, PAG (portfolio analytics), and AnSer, the interactive analytics.^[1]

Could it be replaced with the following cited text?:

In 2000, the firm launched BlackRock Solutions, which provides risk management and investment analytics to institutional investors and other large investment managers.^[1] The platform includes advisory services in addition to technology,^[2] and its main basis is BlackRock's proprietary Aladdin System, an acronym for Asset Liability and Debt and Derivative Investment Network.^[3]

2. History: Could the following cited paragraph be added to the article, before the "In November 2021" paragraph of the "2020–present" subsection?:

In October 2021 BlackRock launched its Voting Choice program, which enables institutional clients invested in index funds to participate in shareholder voting, and expanded it in June 2022 so that 47% of its equity index assets are covered by the program.^[1][2] Under the program, eligible institutional clients can either vote all issues, vote only on issues that matter to them, select from 14 different voting policies,^[3] or allow BlackRock's investment stewardship team to vote for them.^[2] BlackRock Investment Stewardship is a team of approximately 70 analysts^[4] who engage with the boards and management teams of companies, and vote shares, for the benefit of its passive non-voting investor clients;^[5] as of 2022 its top priority issues were board quality, strategy and financial resilience, executive compensation, climate, and human-resource issues.^[4]

3. In the second paragraph of the "Influence and power" subsection, could the following cited sentence be added at the end after "acknowledges it can exercise shareholder votes on behalf of these clients, in many cases without client input."?:

In the 2020s, the company took steps which allow institutional investors to participate in shareholder voting in nearly half of BlackRock's equity index assets.^[1]

4. "Ties with Federal Reserve" subsection: In terms of this new sentence which was added in late February 2023 [3]:

"The Financial Times described BlackRock as having secured a prominent advisory role in the Fed’s post-COVID asset purchase program, prompting concerns over whether BlackRock would use its influence to encourage the Fed to purchase BlackRock products; during the Fed's 2020 quantitative easing program, BlackRock's corporate bond ETF received $4.3 billion in new investment, compared to the respective $33 million and $15 million received by BlackRock's competitors Vanguard Group and State Street.^[1]"

It does not seem to truly reflect the FT citation, which states that "BlackRock has pledged not to make any profits from the ETF buying programme, excluding the fees earned by FMA. Any additional income earned by BlackRock on its bond ETFs as a result of the Fed’s buying programme will be returned to the central bank."

Therefore, could the following sentence be appended to that information that is cited to FT?:

BlackRock pledged to forgo profits from the Fed's program other than its financial markets advisory fees. Any additional income it earned on its bond ETFs as a result of the buying program were returned to the Federal Reserve.

(Use the same citation if an extra one needs to be added.)

Thank you very much for your time and effort! KM2BR (talk) 20:31, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
