Tell us about a story you have been following in the news – why has it taken
your interest and how is it related to blackrock.
News on Financial Times – issues that the asset and wealth management
industry might face during the pandemic. This news has taken my interest
because the pandemic has had a long-lasting impact on all industries, and I
would like to know how it affects the industry that I will work in.
1. Crisis management
- Share prices fall, fixed income markets showing signs of stress,
significant market volatility, the M&A and IPO markets contract.
- Firms need better business planning.
2. People
- Work remotely, firms may not be fully prepared to implement this
change at scale.
- Stress, from increasing client demands, market volatility and potential
exposure to illness.
- Communications about market volatility and business continuity, not
enough transparency and information, raise their concerns about their
own work situations.
3. Business model
- Traditional wealth management portfolio models of 60%/40%
equities/fixed income are not performing as expected. This may lead to
pressure on consumer confidence and spending.
- Passive products have recently become popular
BlackRock, as one of the largest asset management firm, will be affected as
well. I think BlackRock could
1.
- Revisit and implement crisis communication plan. Post it publicly to
provide transparency. Communicate with key stakeholders proactively
and be ready to pivot if needed.
- And I find BlackRock had already taken steps to navigate the crisis and
its aftermath. Devoted itself to helping investors understand the
economic and financial implications of the outbreak and resulting
volatility, hosting numerous calls for thousands of people and
publishing a steady stream of research and insights. Making sure that
clients get prompt answers to their urgent questions.
2.
- BlackRock made its employees work from home. The success of this
transition has depended on its careful planning and robust technology.
- Also, I suggest establishing a help desk for remote-access questions
and support, creating clear and concise communications about steps
you are taking to reduce employee stress while you plan.
3.
- As clients seek to adjust their portfolios in this environment, BlackRock
provided iShares® ETFs. ETFs are serving as tools for price discovery
and delivering incremental liquidity and value. Investors’ go-to vehicles
for quickly taking off risk exposure in times of market volatility.
- Moreover, BlackRock is investing to create stronger market and trading
infrastructure for all ETFs. And continue to expand the way investors
use ETFs to access critical exposure and achieve their outcomes.
