BLACKROCK

We’re here to help people invest better

BlackRock’s purpose is to help more and more people experience financial well-being. Together with our clients, we’re contributing to a more equitable and resilient world – today and for generations to come.

BlackRock has been supporting investors in Africa for more than 25 years1. We now work with clients in 13 different countries across the continent to help millions of people invest to build savings that serve them throughout their lives. We pair BlackRock’s global asset management expertise along with our intimate understanding of the local African markets to provide access to investment solutions that align with their long-term objectives.

BlackRock is tomorrow’s alternatives platform

Investors are increasingly using a range of alternative investments, including infrastructure, private credit, private equity and liquid alternatives, such as hedge funds. These can add different risk-return benefits as part of a dynamically managed diverse portfolio. Private debt, for example, may offer reliable yields for pension schemes. Some hedge fund investments can minimize volatility in highly unpredictable markets, offering ballast in a portfolio. As the market for alternative investments expands, we’re seeing a growing secondary market emerging.

As alternative investments have become increasingly critical, we continue to evolve and innovate our alternatives platform – leveraging our technology, our scale, and our fiduciary model to better serve our clients now and in the future.
