With the US equity markets up just 2.3% in the third quarter, the 2.2% average stock gain recorded by the traditional US asset managers kept year-to-date average total returns for the group above the market's return (as represented by the S&P 500 TR index) at the end of September.
BlackRock is the largest asset manager in the world, with $15.345 trillion in AUM at the end of June 2026 and clients in more than 100 countries.
The sheer size and scale of BlackRock's operations could end up being the biggest impediment to the firm's long-term growth.
