From cover article in The Economist
[1]
[2], noting it is "easily the biggest investor in the world", it is clear that BlackRock matters. As well as its $4.1 trillion of directly controlled assets (almost as much as all private-equity and hedge funds put together)(already mentioned) it oversees another $11 trillion through its trading platform, Aladdin (needs own article?), we are told - together giving it control over around 7% of all the shares, bonds and loans in the world.
Also, let's say that the helping the US government in 2008-09 was after and because of the financial crisis.
Much material from these sources but I don't feel qualified to mess with the lead.
Moreover, it seems to be hardly mentioned in other WP articles. This needs to be embedded in places it links to, starting with the firms it holds significant stakes in.

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
FutureAdvisor employee here, so requesting an edit here to stay in line with WP:DISCLOSURE. The AUM figure is pretty old and, at the time of the acquisition, is off by a factor of 3. Could someone change the last sentence in BlackRock#2010 onwards to:
On August 26, 2015, BlackRock entered into a definitive agreement to acquire FutureAdvisor, [1] a digital wealth management provider with reported assets under management of over $600 million. [2]
