Credit
Credit is a core pillar of BlackRock’s alternatives platform. BlackRock’s US$121 billion global credit platform has a long history of seeking to deliver client outcomes aligned to objectives across public and private credit markets.
Why BlackRock for credit?
The coronavirus shock is fundamentally reshaping the investment landscape, and credit may be called upon to play a larger role in fulfilling investors’ income and capital growth needs. In periods of greater economic uncertainty where risks remain high and markets volatile, achieving superior risk-adjusted results through the credit cycle requires a different kind of partner. BlackRock’s global credit platform seeks to deliver outperformance with true partnership.
