Blackrock to Start Offering Investment Advisory Services in China

The US-based investment management firm Blackrock is about to start offering onshore investment advisory services in China.

Blackrock is one of the biggest investment management firms in the United States of America. In Shenghai, Blackrock owns Blackrock Investment Management LLC, which is its foreign-owned enterprise within China. Recently, Blackrock announced that it will be providing onshore investment advisory services in China, in collaboration with the Asset Management Association of China.

This new initiative will allow the firm to provide investment advisory services to private asset management products. These asset management products are issued by onshore securities as well as their subsidiaries. These products are also issue by fund management companies and their subsidiaries in China.

Mr. Tony Tang, the Head of Blackrock China, has been pleased with the latest development. He expressed his delight while speaking to the media recently. He said that the investment service approval has put him, as well as the company, in a strong position. He further added that the approval will allow the firm to perform its duties for the crucial investor base. This approval will draw on various investment platforms, technologies, and construction abilities.

As far as China’s ambitions are concerned, it has embarked on a number of different reforms such as the opening of the capital markets, the internationalizing of Yuan, and an improvement in its technical know-how. All this has been done to make the country a global hub of banking. As a result, a lot of foreign firms are eager to get their share in the growing financial services scene in China.

In a recent interview, Geraldine Buckingham, the Global Head of Corporate Strategy at Blackrock, said that the Chinese market presents the company with a strategic, long-term opportunity. Therefore, the company has been more than willing to invest and operate in China.

This approval will do a great deal to strengthen the relations between the USA and China. It will help in bringing economic stability to both the markets. Furthermore, this could prove to be softener, considering China’s current economic slowdown. As far as the firm is concerned, this approval will allow them to work more diligently for their investors and others to join in as well.

As reported in the month of March 2019, the company has $6.52 trillion in assets under management on a global level.
