The first para says that Blackstone is one of three index funds that "dominate corporate America." They do nothing of the sort. They are the largest shareholders of many American companies, but the share of each company they hold is a small minority and is in no way dominant. They basically do not influence the companies' behavior at all. They are index funds (passive managers) and simply hold shares as per contract with the index funds' investors. They have no discretion over whether to hold the shares and cannot sell them except to raise cash for redemption requests by the fund investors.
The wording I'd suggest in place of "dominate corporate America" is "are the largest shareholders of many large American companies." Whoever is the primary force behind this page, please make the change. As a casual user I'd rather not. 24.13.83.67 ( talk) 10:04, 2 November 2020 (UTC)Larry Siegel

![]() | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
I'm proposing the following edits. I work for Blackrock, Inc., and I have declared my conflict of interest on my Userpage as well as above. I will not edit the page myself and will instead put forward edit requests for independent editors to review.
I'm submitting these edits to correct inaccuracies and provide additional details to several items, and have provided related sourcing for review.
Please let me know of any questions or comments. Thanks for your time and consideration.
1. Please remove 52nd Street Capital Advisors LLC from the Subsidiaries list in the Infobox, as it is no longer a subsidiary, per information submitted to the SEC February 25, 2022: https://fintel.io/doc/sec-blackrock-inc-1364742-ex211-2022-february-25-19048-1188
2. Could the paragraph about the train-fare-dodging Jonathan Burrows be removed from the subsection "2010–2019"? An example of recentism, this item has nothing to do with BlackRock per se or any work the person did for or at or while at BlackRock, and it was added by a now-banned editor the same day the news article(s) appeared: [3]. (Here are the two current citations, one of which is archive-only now: [4] [5].)
3. Could the following cited information be added to the article, after the first paragraph of the "Ownership and transparency" section?:
In October 2021 BlackRock launched its Voting Choice program, which enables institutional clients invested in index funds to participate in shareholder voting, and expanded it in June 2022 so that 47% of its equity index assets are covered by the program. [1] [2] Under the program, eligible institutional clients can either vote all issues, vote only on issues that matter to them, select from 14 different voting policies, [3] or allow BlackRock's investment stewardship team to vote for them. [2] BlackRock Investment Stewardship is a team of approximately 70 analysts [4] who engage with the boards and management teams of companies, and vote shares, for the benefit of its passive non-voting investor clients; [5] as of 2022 its top priority issues are board quality, strategy and financial resilience, executive compensation, climate, and human-resource issues. [4]
Thank you for taking the time to review these requests. KM2BR ( talk) 19:35, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
The summary part of the page seems to be adding information to the firm that would be better served in a controversy sub section. It could be misconstrued that the general public consensus is that people think this is a "woke" company, which requires explanation. The summary narrative appears to have agenda when describing a investment firm. Does Goldman Sachs read like this? 2601:1C0:8500:9BA0:98E3:A6CC:63BB:AFA4 ( talk) 13:13, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I work for BlackRock, Inc., and I have declared my conflict of interest on my userpage as well as above. I would like to request the following edits to this article:
1. The "Cross ownership" subsection [added three years ago by this editor: [6]]: The first sentence is completely uncited, and the citations for the second sentence do not mention BlackRock at all (not even in the PDF study mentioned in the first citation). Could this two-sentence subsection be removed (unless or until it is properly cited)?
2. "Key people" section (board of directors):
