Mission & Goals
BlackRock is one of the world’s leading providers of investment, advisory and risk management solutions. We are a fiduciary to our clients - which means putting our clients’ interests first. It is from this perspective that BlackRock supports the creation of regulatory regimes that increase transparency, protect investors, and facilitate long-term growth of capital markets, while preserving consumer choice and assessing benefits versus implementation costs. Specifically in EU affairs, our organisational goals are to: - Positively contribute to legislation and regulations affecting Europe's end-investors - Distinguish our firm as a trusted resource for policymakers - Demonstrate thought leadership that adds to the European policy debate
