Market Uncertainty Sparks Client Anxiety

BlackRock Inc. CEO Larry Fink addressed the growing concerns among clients regarding market uncertainties during the company's recent earnings call. "We've seen periods like this before when there were large, structural shifts in policy and markets – like the financial crisis, COVID, and surging inflation in 2022," Fink remarked.

Historical Context and Future Growth

Reflecting on past crises, Fink highlighted that such periods have historically been followed by significant growth for BlackRock. This perspective comes in the wake of the release of BlackRock's earnings report, which shows a 12% increase in revenue to $5.3 billion in Q1.
