最新报道:BlackRock continues its aggressive expansion into private markets with the acquisition of Preqin, a leading provider of private equity data, for $3.2 billion. The deal follows BlackRock's purchase of Global Infrastructure Partners earlier this year, signaling the asset manager's strategic push into alternative investments. CEO Larry Fink emphasized that private markets are becoming increasingly critical for portfolio diversification as public markets face volatility. Preqin's extensive dataset on private equity, real estate, and infrastructure will enhance BlackRock's Aladdin platform, offering clients deeper insights into alternative assets. The acquisition is expected to close by early 2026, pending regulatory approvals.
