History
In 1988, BlackRock was founded as the Financial Management Group within the private equity firm Blackstone Group. Larry Fink, BlackRock’s founder and CEO had joined Blackstone in 1988 as a partner, along with Ralph Schlosstein, former White House aid under the Carter administration. Before joining Blackstone, Laurence D. Fink was a Managing Director at First Boston where he pioneered the Mortgage-Backed Securities market in the United States. In 1992, Fink and Schlosstein separated from the Blackstone Group under the name BlackRock and aggressively re-invented itself as an independent asset management company. In 1999 assets under management had grown to $165 billion and the firm decided to go public. The Blackstone Group L.P. is a prominent private equity and management investment firm founded in 1985 by Peter G. Peterson and Stephen A. Schwarzman. ...
On September 29, 2006, Merrill Lynch and Co., Inc. completed the merger of the firm's investment management business, Merrill Lynch Investment Managers (MLIM), with BlackRock, creating one of the world's largest independent investment management firms. Merrill Lynch received a total of 65 million common and preferred shares in the combined company and has a 45 percent voting interest. The new company will operate primarily under the BlackRock name (under BlackRock-Merrill Lynch Investment Managers in EMEA Asia Pacific due to the lack of BlackRock brand awareness). Merrill Lynch owns just under half of BlackRock, one of the world's largest publicly traded investment management companies with $1.075 trillion by the end of September 2006 in assets under management. September 29 is the 272nd day of the year (273rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
