Assets under management
This isn’t your usual Wall Street snooze fest though, adjusted earnings per share clocked in at $11.55, outpacing the analysts’ guess.
BlackRock’s organic fee growth flexed with a 10% annual boost, fueled by love for systematic active equity, outsourced mandates, and private markets. Over the past year, this growth still turned heads at 8%.
But there’s plot twist. Operating income took a slight dip, down 3% to $1.96 billion.
Adjusted operating income, though, jumped 23% to $2.62 billion, while adjusted net income nudged up 11% to $1.91 billion.
BlackRock’s assets under management skyrocketed 17% year-over-year, jumping from $11.47 trillion to a colossal $13.46 trillion. ETFs were the hero, scooping up $153 billion of the $205 billion inflows.
Retail interest
Retail investors weren’t shy, adding $10 billion, split $4 billion U.S., $6 billion global.
Institutional active picked up $22 billion, while institutional indexes kept bleeding $14 billion.
Cryptos pulled in a cool $17 billion, core equities $53 billion, and fixed income $41 billion. A mysterious $21 billion showed up under “precision and other.”

Crypto’s humble share? $104 billion in assets, $61 million revenue. Currency and commodity strategies held $137 billion, adding $77 million.
Long-term strategies hauled in $4.73 billion, comprising 93% of flows, cash management chipped in $318 million.
