BlackRock generated net inflows of more than $300bn and “positive organic base fee growth” in 2022.

Last week, media reports emerged that BlackRock is planning to trim its employee headcount by around 500.

An expense of $91m will be incurred by the company because of a plan to alter the workforce size to better match business priorities.

BlackRock chairman and CEO Laurence Fink said: “BlackRock’s diversified investment and technology capabilities provide clients with more choice to address their unique risk preferences and priorities. In the United States alone, we generated $230bn of long-term net inflows.

“Flows were positive across each of our three regions. iShares led the global ETF industry with $220bn of net inflows, including record flows into bond ETFs. We continued to scale our private markets platform, raising $35bn of capital, with particular strength in private credit and infrastructure. And we saw record net new sales of Aladdin, further underscoring its importance in periods of market volatility.

“The current environment offers incredible opportunities for long-term investors, and we enter 2023 well-positioned and confident in our ability to deliver for our clients, employees, and shareholders.”
