BlackRock

Founded in 1988, BlackRock is the world's largest asset management firm, headquartered in New York City. The company provides a broad range of investment management, risk management, and advisory services to institutional and retail clients worldwide.

BlackRock manages assets across multiple investment strategies, including equities, fixed income, multi-asset portfolios, alternatives, ETFs, and cash management solutions. The firm is also known for its iShares ETF platform and Aladdin risk-management technology, which are widely used by financial institutions globally. While BlackRock is primarily recognized as a global asset manager, its expanding private markets platform, further strengthened by its acquisitions of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) and HPS Investment Partners (HPS), supports its inclusion in this directory.

With a presence in more than 30 countries and over 80 offices worldwide, BlackRock serves governments, pension funds, corporations, financial institutions, and individual investors. The firm continues to expand its capabilities across private markets, infrastructure, digital assets, and technology-driven investment solutions.
