BlackRock’s story is about new ideas, innovative thinking and growth through collaboration.

Who we are

In 1988, our founders set out to create a better asset management firm—one that was purpose-driven, focused on clients and risk management, and driven by data and technology. Our breakthrough Aladdin® platform unified trading, risk management and reporting onto one system connecting the information, people and technology needed to manage money.

Over the years, we’ve evolved from an eight-person start up into a global company who’s trusted to manage more assets Read Source(*) than to any other investment manager. We’ve always been laser focused on delivering long-term value for our clients and our shareholders.

And because we’ve purposefully invested in developing our platform, our technology and our people for more than 30 years, we have the capabilities to create better portfolios that help more and more people experience financial well-being and, ultimately, better futures.
