Why choose BlackRock for portfolio transition services?

  • Hiring the right transition manager means finding a partner who can assure you that their interests align with yours. Transparency throughout the transition provides the assurance that your manager is not profiting at your expense. BlackRock is a fiduciary; accordingly, we act in the client’s best interest. Our business model minimises conflicts of interest. We do not trade for our own account, and we do not charge for foreign exchange. We provide complete revenue transparency which means full disclosure on all sources of revenue, including revenue to affiliate organisations.

  • As the world’s largest asset manager, we have unparalleled access to a variety of trading venues and counterparties. We use our scale, trading expertise, proprietary research, trading technology to reduce overall trading costs for our clients. We have strong ties to a full range of counterparties, brokers and venues - especially critical for illiquid asset classes. Our significant size can help to maintain transaction activity confidentiality and reduces the risk of information leakage and with a significant internal flow of assets we provide our clients with access to a large crossing pool.

  • We provide a comprehensive service that includes project management, execution and trade strategy design based on best execution. We seek to control total trading costs by balancing costs and risk throughout a transition. Working in conjunction with BlackRock’s trading-cost research team, we employ proprietary technology to enable us to manage the four key dimensions of risk throughout the transition - exposure, execution, process and operational risk.
