Laurence D. Fink
Chairman & CEO, BlackRock
aka Larry Fink
“Insurance companies, especially the insurance company with long liabilities, could earn 150-350 basis points over Treasuries.”
“I believe we're in a great position to effectively extend the opportunities we have across all of our investors, but particularly the insurance industry that is recognizing they can take somewhat more illiquidity risk for higher returns on their balance sheet.”
“Clients entrusted BlackRock with $192 billion of net inflows in the second quarter, contributing to our strongest first half on record.”
“The combination of GIP, HPS, and Preqin is already delivering above our plans and accelerating our 2030 growth trajectory.”
“We are not there. Nobody is there yet in the totality of the analytics and data that is provided in the public market space.”
