Abstract:BlackRock Inc Chief Financial Officer Gary Shedlin said that his company is halting most employment and cutting spending.
“We're trying to be a bit more careful,” he said at a Goldman Sachs-hosted finance conference, adding that these actions would leave BlackRock in a stronger position next year.
BlackRock also said that there were certain short-term performance issues and that it needed to consider resetting expenditures relative to revenues.
Shedlin went on to say that the business has witnessed some weakness in retail mutual funds.
However, it anticipates a significant increase in performance fees from illiquid firms in the future years.
Earlier this month, BlackRock reported a 16% year-on-year reduction in assets under management to $7.96 billion, as a stronger dollar reduced the value of investments in Europe and Asia. Its net income declined by 17% as well.
Shedlin warned earlier in October, when the business released its third-quarter results, that it had started “to more aggressively restrict the pace of some discretionary expenditure.”
BlackRock shares are down approximately 30% this year, behind the benchmark S&P 500 Index.
Separately, activist investor Bluebell Capital Partners Ltd said in a letter that it has attempted to oust BlackRock CEO Larry Fink after obtaining a position as the asset manager.
