Talk:BlackRock

Dominate corporate America?
The first para says that Blackstone is one of three index funds that "dominate corporate America." They do nothing of the sort. They are the largest shareholders of many American companies, but the share of each company they hold is a small minority and is in no way dominant. They basically do not influence the companies' behavior at all. They are index funds (passive managers) and simply hold shares as per contract with the index funds' investors. They have no discretion over whether to hold the shares and cannot sell them except to raise cash for redemption requests by the fund investors.

The wording I'd suggest in place of "dominate corporate America" is "are the largest shareholders of many large American companies." Whoever is the primary force behind this page, please make the change. As a casual user I'd rather not. 24.13.83.67 (talk) 10:04, 2 November 2020 (UTC)Larry Siegel


 * As Corporate managers who do not obey the "advice" of BlackRock, on pushing leftist policies such as ESG and DEI, tend to find themselves forced to resign - "dominate corporate America" is fair wording. 2A02:C7C:E085:8D00:4D78:9EAE:5775:81C9 (talk) 12:46, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
 * That honestly needs more citations, you make it sound like it's the explicit agenda. Is that what fox news says the company is about or what the company has actually done, either way for something that could be weasel words, it needs strong citations 2601:1C0:8500:9BA0:98E3:A6CC:63BB:AFA4 (talk) 13:18, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Missing major information
This article fails to list the corporations Black Rock is affiliated with as well as how it makes money off of them. 68.189.107.206 (talk) 14:10, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Thomas Matthew Crooks in a commercial
I see absolutely no encyclopedia value for including the part of the commercial Thomas Matthew Crooks appeared on years ago and pulled by Blackrook due to the shooting. Blackrock never intentionally used him in advance knowing he will attempt to assassinate Trump, and the moment hey found out he was on said commercial they pulled it. I view it as some editors here are intentionally insisting to keep it on to slander Blackrock. I already removed it once and an another one added it back so I will not edit war, but it’s not okay to leave it. Bohbye (talk) 20:44, 18 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I agree. While this is somewhat controversial, I do agree that it was a very minor and unintentional controversy. Gaismagorm (talk) 21:01, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I also agree per above. Thesixthstaff (talk) 16:26, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
