BlackRock setting the record straight

As one of the world’s leading asset managers, BlackRock is committed to helping our clients experience financial well-being. The money we manage is not our own. It belongs to the individuals and organizations around the world who rely on BlackRock to help them reach their long-term goals.

BlackRock is proud to serve pension funds providing for nurses, teachers, firefighters, law enforcement, and other workers in public and private sectors; individuals who are investing for their own retirement or other goals; as well as a range of other clients. 

Our job is to: offer investment choices to meet our clients’ objectives; provide transparency into how those decisions can affect the portfolio’s risk-return profile; and share our perspective on how macroeconomic, geopolitical, and structural forces impact asset prices and how we believe those trends are likely to unfold over time.

The fiduciary mindset: our clients’ interests come first

As a fiduciary, we have an obligation to act in the best interest of our clients and to be solely focused on their investment objectives. Our clients’ interests come first. Always.
