BlackRock voted Best Asset Manager by the readers of Intelligent Insurer

Intelligent Insurer’s in-house research team spent six months interviewing industry executives and gathering data from thousands of online responses. In total 1,103 full interviews or surveys were completed. The research team collected qualitative and quantitative data to establish which companies are regarded highly and what qualities have been critical to their long-term success.

As one of the world’s largest asset management firms, BlackRock was victorious in the asset management category. BlackRock provides investment management, risk management and advisory services, and was well regarded throughout the survey.

One respondent said of BlackRock: “The information they provide is very accurate and industry-specific – they also give a great detailed analysis.”

Another said: “We’ve recently appointed them and they have been very proactive and incredibly efficient and prompt in their turnaround. Any problem or issue we have they will try to resolve it. They work well with external third parties and we are enjoying working with them.”

As an independent, global investment manager, BlackRock prides itself on its commitment to clients – something that was highlighted throughout the results.

“They are very professional, brief and to the point,” said another respondent.

BlackRock has offices in 30 countries around the world and manages assets for clients in North and South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and Africa. This was another point of celebration as one participant observed: “You have to be global in asset management, and they are.”
