Is Blackstone owned by BlackRock?
In 1995, Blackstone sold its stake in BlackRock to PNC Financial Services for $250 million.
By 1992, Blackstone had a stake equating to about 35% of the company, and Stephen A. Schwarzman and Fink were considering selling shares to the public. The firm adopted the name BlackRock in 1992, and by the end of that year, BlackRock was managing $17 billion in assets.
Imagine BlackRock, which grew into the world's biggest money manager with $5.4 trillion of assets under management, being called “BlackPebble?” BlackRock has far surpassed Blackstone in assets under management.
Chairman, CEO & Co-Founder. Stephen A. Schwarzman is Chairman, CEO and Co-Founder of Blackstone, one of the world's leading investment firms with $941 billion Assets Under Management (as of June 30, 2022).
Laurence D. Fink is Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BlackRock. He and seven partners founded BlackRock in 1988, and under his leadership, the firm has grown into a global leader in investment and technology solutions.
On Thursday morning, Blackstone, the world's largest private equity firm with nearly $600 billion in assets under management, eclipsed investment banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley in market value, making it the second most valuable standalone investment firm on Wall Street to exchange traded fund giant BlackRock.
