The Relationship Between BlackRock and Retail Investors
What, exactly, is the relationship between BlackRock and the retail investors who own shares in the index funds that it manages? This issue came to mind when reading Larry Fink’s 2022 letter to chief executive officers (CEOs). In the letter, he referred to retail investors as clients, but I don’t believe that is the way they are currently being treated.
