BlackRock® offers a range of investment products—equity, fixed income, liquidity and alternative investments—each managed by a dedicated investment team of portfolio managers, research analysts and traders. Focused portfolio management and proprietary research are the cornerstones of our investment philosophy, and portfolio construction is based on each team’s market outlook.

BlackRock’s investment teams are staffed with professionals who have significant experience within their respective markets. Our portfolio teams manage assets for institutional and individual investors alike. Accordingly, all of our clients benefit from our portfolio management expertise and risk management analytics. There are a number of opportunities to join portfolio management from within BlackRock as it selects many of its members from various groups in the company.

All of our portfolio managers leverage the expertise of other investment teams through the strength of a shared research, trading and risk management platform. For example, Galileo™, part of our proprietary risk management system, provides

company research and analysis through online access and formally integrates this information into our fixed income and equity portfolio management process. Our investment professionals benefit from the resources of a world-class firm that continually invests in its business and is differentiated by a team approach and integrated research and risk management.
