The major competitors of BlackRock

We now propose you to discover BlackRock's main competitors on the international market with a quick presentation of the largest asset management groups today:

State Street Global Advisors

This is the investment management division of State Street Corporation and the third largest asset manager in the world. It has over $2.8 trillion in assets under management and offers investment strategies for non-profit foundations, corporations, societies, associations, governments, educational institutions and religious organizations. In addition to these services, SSGA offers investment vehicles for the retail market in the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia.

JP Morgan Chase & Co

This NYSE-listed company is a financial holding company created following the merger between Chase Manhattan Bank and JP Morgan & Co in 2001. It is currently the largest bank in the United States and one of the largest in the world in this sector. It has assets of $2,513 billion and JP Morgan operates in more than 60 countries.

The Capital Group Companies

This is one of the largest pension fund management companies in the world, along with The Vanguard Group.

Golman Sachs

This investment bank, which we no longer present, was created in 1869 and is now established in many countries with offices in New York, Tokyo and Paris.

Amundi

Finally, BlackRock's last major competitor is the French company Amundi, which is also an asset management company and currently manages €1,425 billion in assets under management. It is of course the largest asset management company in Europe and one of the leaders in this sector worldwide.

The major partners of BlackRock

After having discovered BlackRock's main adversaries, we propose you to discover its allies with some examples of recent partnerships that this company has set up. Indeed, the creation of partnerships often has the effect of reinforcing investors' confidence and buying positions, which most often leads to an increase in the share price concerned.

Nalo

At the beginning of this year 2020, BlackRock joined forces with Nalo, a French fintech company. The latter has indeed launched a low volatility portfolio in partnership with this asset management giant. This portfolio will be accessible in Nalo's life insurance contract, Nalo Patrimoine, which is insured by Generali and has a target return of 3%.  It should be noted that Nalo does not market standard management profiles but portfolios associated with its clients' life projects based on the principle of management by objectives. However, investors' first contract is often a prudent and low-risk allocation, which is built using a precautionary savings pocket that can be mobilised quickly and is mainly made up of euro-denominated funds. It is precisely this allocation that will gradually be replaced by BlackRock's High Income funds.

UBS 

Also in 2020, BlackRock has teamed up with Swiss asset manager UBS to launch a new ETF fund. This ETF invests in a multilateral development bank and will be offered as an alternative to traditional high quality fixed income investments such as government bonds.
