About: BlackRock is the largest asset manager in the world, with $10.473 trillion in assets under management at the end of March 2024. Its product mix is fairly diverse, with 54% of managed assets in equity strategies, 27% in fixed income, 9% in multi-asset classes, 7% in money market funds, and 3% in alternatives. Passive strategies account for around two thirds of long-term AUM, with the company's ETF platform maintaining a leading market share domestically and on a global basis.
