Abstract

By the end of 2015, BlackRock had succeeded beyond any of the early dreams of its founders. The firm remained the world's largest asset manager, with more than USD4.6 trillion under management, and other financial services companies used BlackRock's Aladdin platform to monitor an additional USD12.9 trillion of assets. With its success, the firm had become far more complex. The scale and scope of BlackRock were helpful to clients when the parts of the company worked together, but that very same scale and scope made working together harder. BlackRock's leadership took stock of the investment landscape in early 2016 and what the firm would need to do in the future to continue to grow.
