BlackRock Inc., the world\u2019s largest asset manager, has seen its assets under management (AUM) swell to a staggering $11.5 trillion, a sum that now represents almost 11% of the global GDP.<\/p>\n
Leaving out the U.S. and China, BlackRock\u2019s AUM is greater than the GDP of every other country in the world.<\/p>\n
The money manager owns controlling shares of the biggest international corporations across every major industry.<\/p>\n
The milestone not only underscores BlackRock\u2019s unprecedented growth but also brings into focus the vast influence it holds over global markets and corporate policies.<\/p>\n
With shares across nearly every major sector, BlackRock is in a position to steer the policies and political directions of numerous companies.<\/p>\n
CEO Larry Fink has openly acknowledged this influence, revealing in a 2017 interview that BlackRock is actively \u201cforcing behaviors\u201d on the companies it owns.<\/p>\n
\u201cBehaviors are gonna have to change, and this is one thing we\u2019re asking companies. You have to force behaviors, and at BlackRock, we are forcing behaviors,\u201d Fink stated.<\/p>\n
BlackRock\u2019s sway extends beyond mere financial metrics; as an official partner of the World Economic Forum (WEF), it is aligned with a global agenda advocating for initiatives involving \u201cclimate change,\u201d so-called Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and the WEF\u2019s controversial \u201cGreat Reset.\u201d<\/p>\n
