MISSION STATEMENT
Introduction
BlackRock, Inc., headquartered in New York City, is the world's largest asset management corporation,
trusted to manage trillions of dollars in capital for institutional and retail investors globally. Founded in 1988 by
Larry Fink, Robert S. Kapito, and a team of partners under the umbrella of Blackstone before spinning off
independently, BlackRock revolutionized institutional investing through an early and aggressive emphasis on
technology-driven risk management. Today, BlackRock operates as a massive structural backbone of the
global financial system. By successfully blending its dominant iShares exchange-traded fund (ETF)
ecosystem with complex multi-asset active management strategies and its industry-standard enterprise risk
software, Aladdin, the corporation wields unparalleled influence across international capital markets and
public financial infrastructure.
Mission Statement
BlackRock targets its overarching corporate purpose toward financial inclusion, long-term fiduciary duty, and
sustainable retirement planning:
"Our purpose is to help more and more people experience financial well-being. We are a fiduciary to
our clients. We invest on their behalf, never our own, and the capital we manage belongs to our
clients."
Strategic analysts evaluate the execution of this mission across three distinctive financial pillars:
Democratic Market Access via iShares:
Providing high-liquidity, low-cost investment instruments to retail
and institutional portfolios alike, simplifying index tracking and foundational asset accumulation.
Aladdin Risk Architecture:
Licensing a central financial operating system that acts as an analytical
anchor, providing real-time risk simulation, portfolio transparency, and transaction tracking across
hundreds of global financial institutions.
Fiduciary Capital Stewardship:
Managing client assets with strict risk discipline, separating proprietary
commercial growth from client holdings, and aligning corporate objectives with the systemic stability of the
broader markets.
