FAQ
Answers, plainly.
The questions we hear most — from clients, students, and the public.
We are an investment manager and financial-technology provider. We help clients — from individuals saving for retirement to the world's largest institutions — invest, manage risk, and pursue their long-term goals.
Aladdin is BlackRock's end-to-end investment and risk platform, used by hundreds of clients globally to manage portfolios totaling tens of trillions of dollars.
We view climate risk as investment risk. We give clients choice — from low-carbon strategies to transition-focused funds — while always prioritizing risk-adjusted returns.
Client assets are held by independent custodians and segregated from BlackRock's balance sheet. Our fiduciary obligation puts your interests first by design.
Through your financial advisor, retirement plan, or directly via iShares ETFs available on major exchanges. Reach out through the contact section for institutional inquiries.
More than 70 offices across 38 countries — including New York, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Frankfurt, and Sydney.
