BlackRock: The secret world power
One name has been haunting Wall Street for years. Still, it remains a mystery to most. Even Heike Buchter admits it only began appearing on her radar recently. "Bankers started talking about [it]. They were analyzing central bank portfolios, and the name Larry Fink kept popping up," the German correspondent, who's been covering Wall Street for more than a decade, told DW.
It stuck with Buchter, who set out to find out all she could about Fink and his financial colossus BlackRock - "one of the world's preeminent asset management firms," as the New York-based corporation boasts on its website.
"Prior to the financial crisis I was not even familiar with the name. But in the years after the Lehman [Brothers] collapse [in 2008], BlackRock appeared everywhere. Everywhere!," Buchter said. On Monday, her 280-page exposé - the first-ever of its kind - appears in German.
Lack of transparency
The author recalls a lunch with an insider. He asked her, only half-jokingly, to speak quietly. He was concerned someone from BlackRock might be hiding in the kitchen, spitting in his soup. Accordingly, she titled the first chapter in her book: "The most powerful company no one's heard about."
BlackRock manages $4.7 trillion (4.2 trillion euros) worth of assets. All told, their platforms juggle $14 trillion - the equivalent of 5 percent of all financials assets worldwide. But BlackRock's reach goes further than just buying and holding stocks and bonds.
