Our Philosophy: One BlackRock
Since our founding in 1988, BlackRock’s core philosophy has been grounded in the belief that experienced investment professionals using a disciplined investment process and sophisticated analytical tools can consistently add value to client portfolios. With this as a framework, BlackRock has assembled teams of investment professionals with significant expertise in global capital markets. Through BlackRock Solutions, our risk management and analytics group, we continue to allocate substantial resources to the ongoing development of our technology and analytic capabilities, for both internal users as well as external clients. Our focus on investment excellence is complemented by an unwavering, senior-level commitment to service, resulting in dynamic client relationships and enabling us to assist clients with all aspects of their investment needs.
BlackRock takes a three dimensional approach to the management of the organization, incorporating functional, product and regional elements in support of our clients’ goals. The functional dimension looks at our operations by specific task, such as portfolio management, account management or operations. The product dimension brings together the cross-disciplinary needs of managing client assets in each asset class. Finally, the regional aspect of our model provides recognition to the importance of local regulatory issues and the unique, geography-specific needs of clients.
Distinct but interconnected, these factors work together to inform all of our business decisions. With our three-dimensional approach to managing the organization, we expect to:
- Ensure consistency on a global basis
- Allow for the tailoring of products and services according to client or local needs
- Promote teamwork among our employees worldwide
- And facilitate operational integrity and efficiency
