Transcript
Raffaele Savi: Something very interesting is happening to investment management. In the last 40 years, the largest managers have systematically, substantially outperformed smaller managers. And I think that the two reasons why that that's been true, one is the role of technology. So as investment processes are becoming more and more efficient at absorbing information and leveraging information and building systems that can scale and multiply the value of those insights, whether it's generative AI where these models are getting larger and larger, or whether it's technology firms where in the last 10 years, there's been the emergence of the trillion dollar market cap firm. The ability to do this at scale is an important advantage. Source: HFR. Larger managers are defined as those in the first quartile of HFR by AUM. As of August 31, 2024. For illustrative purposes only. The figures shown relate to past performance. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future results.

Investment strategies

Our hedge fund strategies combine our skill and scale to offer solutions across geographies, asset classes and styles.

Equities

At BlackRock, our long/short equity strategies are among our largest and most established hedge funds. Our market-neutral approach aims for absolute returns irrespective of market conditions.

Fixed income

Traditional fixed income investing has been centered on factor beta bets on both credit and duration. We build diversified, global fixed income multi-strategy hedge funds to deliver returns independent of traditional market betas.

Multi-asset

Our flagship macro and multi-strategy hedge funds utilize sub-strategies to seek idiosyncratic alpha across asset classes, global geographies, market structures, and investment horizons.

Event-driven

Our event-driven team uses the collective intelligence of the Blackrock platform to capitalize on the value gap arising from the misunderstood nature of transformative events.

Hedge fund solutions

Identifying and selecting the best hedge funds can be hard and labor intensive. HFS’s dedicated investment team has experience and expertise across multiple market cycles building successful hedge fund programs for our investors.

Investors

Our investors have an unrelenting focus on generating alpha for our clients. By leveraging diverse backgrounds and approaches, our experts collaborate with portfolio construction and risk management teams to develop strategies focused on consistent alpha generation, regardless of market conditions.
