Navigating Private Markets together
At BlackRock, we believe a partnership should go beyond providing you with just investment products.
By building on our long-standing experience with wealth managers, private banks and digital distributors across Europe, we have created an innovative approach to partnership that spans the entire client lifecycle.
From experience, we know education on private markets is crucial for success. That's why, as part of our partnership approach, we have built a dedicated private markets educational programme. This programme has been uniquely designed for both distributors and their clients. Firstly, to build advisors' confidence in positioning private markets investments by providing them with foundational knowledge and secondly by helping end-clients make informed decisions and unlock the potential benefits of private markets investing through targeted educational content.
What’s in the BlackRock Private Markets Educational Programme?
Leveraging our expertise and platform, our educational programme provides a series of learning modules, training programmes and interactive content.

My name is Fabio Osta, I am the Head of the Alternatives Specialists Team in EMEA Wealth, here at BlackRock.
The Alternatives Academy has been designed to equip you with the foundational knowledge in alternative investments and private markets, ensuring you can confidently provide detailed and accurate advice for your clients.
Through the academy we will explore the wide world of private markets and their crucial role in portfolio construction. We'll delve into the complexities of different asset classes and introduce you to the regulatory changes and nuances around the ELTIF wrapper.
As you progress through the course, there will be some question sessions to test your understanding. Successfully answering these questions will reinforce key concepts and earn you a Certificate of Excellence in Alternatives Investing.
Risk Warnings
Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future results and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product or strategy.
Changes in the rates of exchange between currencies may cause the value of investments to diminish or increase. Fluctuation may be particularly marked in the case of a higher volatility fund and the value of an investment may fall suddenly and substantially. Levels and basis of taxation may change from time to time.
