Irish castle tower

BlackRock is the world's largest asset management company, headquartered in New York.

Founded in 1988, it manages trillions of dollars in investments through mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and other financial products.

Its iShares brand dominates the ETF market.

BlackRock's size and influence make it a frequent subject of conspiracy theories about corporate control of the global economy.
