From managing liquidity and navigating market volatility to optimizing growth portfolios, our Global Consultant Relations group uses BlackRock’s full spectrum of public and private market strategies to help align an individual client’s mission with investment goals.
Fixed income
Plans seeking to achieve positive returns with historically lower risk than other asset classes are utilizing fixed income strategies within their broader portfolio.
With Rick Rieder as BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officer of Global Fixed Income, BlackRock helps investors navigate the entire fixed income spectrum - from active & index, public to private, fundamental & systematic - to help deliver better outcomes, convenience, value and transparency for our clients.
Equities
Equities are a growth engine and integral part of institutional portfolios. BlackRock’s equity solutions span management styles, from traditional fundamental to systematic to index. Each offers a differentiated investment approach and source of return that can easily partner with other portfolio components to target clients’ unique objectives.
Our fundamental and systematic equity strategies offer investors curated access to global markets as well as key investment insights. BlackRock’s equity investors and researchers combine company-specific research, innovative proprietary modeling and industry analysis to provide clients with insights that aim to deliver consistent, differentiated outperformance.
Diversified alternatives
BlackRock’s alternatives platform provides high-potential strategies aimed at enhancing returns, minimizing the impact of market volatility and fostering long-term growth through all market cycles.
As allocations grow, alternative investments play a vital role in portfolios. Our platform is built to offer a diverse range of options, with a scalable, disciplined and transparent approach rooted in fiduciary relationship—meeting the evolving needs of institutional investors.
