BlackRock has launched its first model portfolio blending private and publicly traded assets, it said on Wednesday, as it looks to expand its footprint in the lucrative private market landscape.
BlackRock Inc. has launched a new model portfolio aimed at expanding its presence in the private markets, targeting financial advisers and their clients. This initiative, announced on March 26, 2025, seeks to simplify access to private market investments, which are typically less liquid and more complex than public market investments. The portfolio includes a mix of private credit, equity, and real estate, designed to offer diversification and potentially higher returns. BlackRock's move is part of a broader strategy to democratize access to alternative investments, traditionally reserved for institutional investors, by providing a structured, managed approach through financial advisers. This step is seen as a response to increasing investor demand for private market exposure, aiming to bridge the gap between retail investors and the lucrative, yet often inaccessible, private investment opportunities.
