How BlackRock is using nearly  billion of acquisitions to reinvent itself
SHARE

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has been making significant moves in the financial world with a series of high-profile acquisitions. These acquisitions are set to change the makeup of the company and solidify its position in the market.

One of the key acquisitions that BlackRock announced last year was the $12 billion deal to buy private credit manager HPS Investment Partners (HPS). This deal is expected to close in mid-2025 and will add $148 billion in assets to BlackRock’s existing $89 billion private debt platform. It will also expand BlackRock’s presence in the lucrative market of private credit, which has seen tremendous growth in recent years as banks face stricter lending requirements.

BlackRock’s move into private credit is not new, as the company previously acquired Tennenbaum Capital Partners in 2018. However, the HPS deal reflects BlackRock’s increasing interest in the space and its desire to be a major player in the private credit market.

In addition to the HPS acquisition, BlackRock also made a $12.5 billion purchase of infrastructure investment firm Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), which closed in October. GIP is the world’s largest independent infrastructure fund manager with over $100 billion in assets under management. This acquisition adds to BlackRock’s current $50 billion in client infrastructure money and positions the company well in the fast-growing infrastructure investment sector.

Furthermore, BlackRock announced a $3.2 billion agreement to buy alternative assets data provider Preqin. This acquisition will strengthen BlackRock’s Aladdin portfolio management platform, giving clients more insights into the world of alternative assets. The addition of Preqin under the BlackRock umbrella will enhance the company’s offerings and provide clients with a more comprehensive view of their investments.

Overall, these acquisitions are expected to bolster BlackRock’s earnings power and help the company accumulate more assets. The move into private credit, infrastructure investment, and alternative assets reflects BlackRock’s strategic vision for the future and its commitment to staying competitive in a rapidly changing financial landscape. With these acquisitions, BlackRock is poised to solidify its position as a global leader in asset management and continue to deliver value to its clients and shareholders. BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has been making strategic acquisitions in the private markets sector, positioning itself as a leader in alternative assets. According to Blackrock, private markets are the fastest growing segment of asset management, with alternative assets expected to reach nearly $40 trillion by the end of the decade.

In a recent deal release, Blackrock highlighted the importance of catering to its clients’ evolving needs while also expanding its asset base. The firm currently manages $11.6 trillion in assets, its highest level in history, and continues to adapt to changing market trends.

Evercore’s Schorr praised Blackrock’s ability to anticipate market shifts and make strategic acquisitions to stay ahead of the curve. He pointed out that the firm has successfully transitioned from a fixed income manager to a diversified asset manager with a strong presence in equity, active management, and passive investment through iShares.

Blackrock’s recent acquisitions in the private markets, data, and technology sectors signal a shift towards more stable earnings and diversification of revenue sources. The firm aims to have 20% of its revenue base in alternatives, private markets, and technology, areas that offer structural growth and less market sensitivity.

While there are no immediate plans for further major acquisitions, Blackrock remains focused on its long-term strategy to enhance its presence in key sectors. The firm’s emphasis on adapting to market trends and investing in growth areas reflects its commitment to delivering value to clients and shareholders.
