The world's largest investment firm, BlackRock, has begun to establish its new identity. 💰
Under the leadership of CEO Larry Fink, the company is now focusing on private markets and technology services as its next growth center, moving away from traditional bonds and ETFs. ⚙️
In the third quarter, BlackRock completed its largest deal — the acquisition of HPS Investment Partners. Along with this, the firm also acquired Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) and Preqin, rapidly changing BlackRock's revenue structure. 📈
For the first time, the income from BlackRock's private market funds and technology services has surpassed that of fixed income funds and ETFs — which experts are calling “BlackRock 3.0.” 🚀
Although iShares ETFs have managed assets exceeding $5 trillion at record levels, Fink and his team's enthusiasm is directed elsewhere — towards data, subscriptions, and technology-based revenue models. 💡
Last year, BlackRock invested over $27 billion to gain a competitive edge in private markets and data intelligence.
From the HPS deal alone, BlackRock received over $100 billion in new private credit assets, leading to a 136% annual increase in this sector. 📊
Fink said, “I have never seen a more exciting time regarding BlackRock's future.” ✨
Just as BlackRock established its presence in the world during the peak of peso investing in the 2010s, the institution is now writing a new chapter in private credit, infrastructure, and data technology. 🌍
This change is not just for BlackRock — it is the foundation for the next era of the global financial system, where data, transparency, and long-term investment are becoming new powers. 🔗
